Java was not created for the Internet. It was developed to serve the need for a platform-independent (architecture-neutral) programming language for embedded software for consumer electronics like remote controls.
C and C++ were the popular programming languages for embedded software (still in use). The problem was that C and C++ programs need to be compiled every time you want to run them on a different processor. So you needed a separate compiler for every target. James Gosling and the team wanted to design a programming language that could address this compilation-related issue. Java was created to be compiled to bytecodes, which are independent of the target platform.
