So, say World War 1 doesn't occur and so decolonization is averted and by the time the technology needed for the development of the internet is invented, at least Africa is still under European dominance and so European languages are the first tongues of lots of people similar to the Americas. I mentioned Africa as the many countries in Europe are more for themselves than the Continent so no alt European Union or alt UN as their are multiple great powers that are unwilling to give up power for anything, when they have their own spheres of influence within their colonies, thus making a multipolar world.
So, how would the internet develop and who would invent it? Would the internet even be developed at all? When it develops isn't as important( I am guessing much later than OTL) ,but how it develops is important.
