    If internet means wires

    It does not now and has never meant wires.

    The internet as we know it has always included wireless links. The AlohaNET, a wireless network, was part of the Internet from the start. The ArpaNET became the Internet in 1977 when it first connected multiple networks together. The AlohaNET joined the ArpaNET in 1972.
