"This is the biggest change technically to the internet since it was invented 40 years ago," Peter Dengate Thrush, chairman of the ICANN board, said

Biggest change to [the] [I]nternet or to computer networking?

When will they stop lying and rewrite history? The Internet was not invented 40 years ago. Not every connection between 2 computer is 'the Internet'! It is just a computer network. And 40 years ago there were no web browsers, no web servers, no hypertext, and certainly no domain names! Even the concept for those was not existing.

The WWW (aka 'the Internet') was invented 20 years ago at CERN by Tim Berners-Lee in 1989, and further refined by him and Robert Cailliau in 1990.
