The Internet. Can you actually imagine where we would be without it? You’d have no memes to share on WhatsApp, no selfies to like on Instagram, no music videos to watch on YouTube, and you wouldn’t even be reading this right now.

So to pay homage to something which we quite honestly couldn’t live without, we’re going to present our top 10 facts about the Internet.

Like Twitter, it wasn’t very interesting, just a video of founder Jawed Karim discussing elephants in the video named ‘Me at the zoo.’

Still on YouTube, ‘Gangnam Style’ is the most-watched video of all time

North Korea has many unusual laws and rules, but heavily censoring the internet has to be up there. As you can read about here, the data regarding North Korea’s website restrictions came to light due to an online mishap.
