Darpanet (upon which the Internet was based) was launched in the late 60s.

What you are probably referring to (the World Wide Web) was first demonstrated in 1993 and launched in 1993.

Bear in mind that although most people know the World Wide Web as the internet, the Internet itself is just a huge number of Interconnection computer networks covering the world and uses many methods of access of which the Web is just one.
I was referring to the WWW. Wow 1993. So its 11 years old.
