30 years of Internet learning

The first specialized school for learning the Internet opened on this day, October 1st, 1995. "Internet Academy" is based in Shinjuku Tokyo. The school had 13 students at the time of its opening, but by October 2024, it has produced more than 90,000 graduates. Just last year, Internet Academy registered Internet Learning Day インターネットを学ぶ日 with the Japan Anniversary Association.

The purpose of the day is to increase the number of people learning the Internet and create opportunities to learn. They propose that by learning the Internet, you can provide new value and services around the world and help solve social issues. As we set voyage into the age of AI, the world of the Internet is set to change rapidly. Staying on top of all the changes will be a challenge, but institutes that offer Internet education may be in demand once again. 

The Internets birthday is also coming up in Autumn. The very first Internet communication was carried out on October 29th 1969, but "Internet Birthday" is  November 21st because on that day, also in 1969, the first public Internet experiment was conducted.
