I don't consider the ARPANET stuff the internet.

It's the precursor. TCP/IP adoption isn't a bad place to consider what is the internet. I think adoption/invention of WorldwideWeb is too late though I could agree to use it as the beginning of what most people think of what started the internet we see today.

I think somewhere in the 80s is accurate, however it doesn't really matter as the internet wasn't suddenly everywhere. It took a LOT of time to reach a lot of places so one can remember what the world was like without the internet, even if it was already around at that time.

I remember when most people didn't have a computer let alone access to a modem of some kind.
