    The answer is "increase in the power of public universities and increased appreciation for a liberal arts education". DARPA and Russia had nothing to do with this. Yes, the computer hardware improvement led to a growth, but National Science Foundation funding in 1981, and hence this is also not an option. And electrical power supply had nothing to do with this. Hence, the above answer. as the concept of the internet is based on liberal arts of education, to impart practical and intellectual skillsets, and hence to grow the social responsibility among the citizens of the whole world. Also, the power of public universities had a big role to play definitely, and this was confirmed from Pentagon as well then when the question was raised, is this due to the risk of a nuclear attack.

    Many people think that the main reason was the nuclear attack threat, but that was not an issue definitely. Actually this was the time of liberalization, and the power of the public universities was increased. Hence, they got the chance to share the information of various sorts with the people, and in the process internet started expanding.
