The Internet, as such, does not predate PDF. The Internet's antecedent, the ArpaNet, did, and by quite a number of decades. It even predates, and is partly the trigger for, the invention of the ebook on July 4, 1971. The WWW is merely an amalgamation of the Internet (nee ArpaNet) and Vannevar Bush's invention of an electrical information reference and retrieval device that dates from the mid-1930s and was described in his magazine essay
"As We May Think" from July 1945.
