Well, I usually go by by the SRI packet radio van at the end of '77 for the beginning of the Internet, and that TCP was split into TCP/IP in '78. Those are just my personal touchstones.

I was originally on BITNET during college, UUCP provided by the university afterwards and a little FIDONET, and then I got an actual dialup connection from a local provider.
