How Britain got its first internet connection (2018)

I've put 2018 as an approximation above because the intro says "a few years before he died" in 2020. If anybody can figure out the actual year, we can change it.

Edit: in HN titles, the "(YYYY)" annotation is a convention that indicates the year that an article originated.

"The impact of the internet on our way of life in its first 40 years has been immeasurable. It has expanded and developed in a way none of us envisaged in 1975", suggesting 2015?

Not sure how literally to take the 40 but that's at least more precise than "a few" so I've switched to 2015 above. Thanks!

It says it was newer published (before now), so would not 2025 be correct?

We usually try for the year that a document originated.
