Imagine an alternate history where the Internet is invented 1,000 years earlier than in our timeline (around the year 1000 CE). Describe the chain of events that could have led to this outcome.

In
this
alternate
history
,
the
in
vention
of
the
Internet
is
attributed
to
a
group
of
medieval
sch
ol
ars
who
were
seeking
to
create
a
more
efficient
system
for
sharing
information
and
knowledge
.
The
sch
ol
ars
were
inspired
by
the
existing
network
of
communication
that
existed
in
the
form
of
mess
enger
services
and
trade
routes
,
and
they
set
out
to
create
a
more
s
oph
istic
ated
system
that
would
allow
for
the
rapid
exchange
of
information
over
long
distances
.
\n
\n
The
sch
ol
ars
began
by
developing
a
system
of
inter
connected
nodes
,
each
of
which
would
serve
as
a
point
of
access
to
the
network
.
These
nodes
were
located
in
major
cities
and
towns
throughout
the
world
,
and
they
were
connected
by
a
series
of
under
ground
t
unn
els
and
c
ables
.
The
sch
ol
ars
also
developed
a
series
of
protocol
s
for
the
transmission
of
information
,
including
a
system
of
encryption
that
would
allow
for
the
secure
transmission
of
sensitive
data
.
\n
\n
As
the
network
grew
,
it
became
increasing
ly
popular
among
sch
ol
ars
,
mer
ch
ants
,
and
other
members
of
the
medieval
community
.
The
sch
ol
ars
continued
to
improve
the
network
,
adding
new
features
and
capabilities
as
they
went
.
They
developed
new
techn
ologies
for
data
storage
and
retr
ieval
,
and
they
created
new
tools
for
communication
and
collaboration
.
\n
\n
Over
time
,
the
network
became
an
essential
part
of
daily
life
,
allowing
people
to
stay
connected
with
each
other
and
with
the
latest
information
and
ideas
from
around
the
world
.
It
also
played
a
key
role
in
the
development
of
science
,
technology
,
and
other
fields
,
as
sch
ol
ars
were
able
to
share
their
research
and
collabor
ate
on
new
projects
.
\n
\n
As
a
result
,
the
in
vention
of
the
Internet
in
this
alternate
history
had
a
prof
ound
impact
on
the
course
of
human
history
.
It
led
to
the
development
of
new
techn
ologies
and
indust
ries
,
and
it
played
a
key
role
in
the
spread
of
knowledge
and
ideas
throughout
the
world
.
