Search the Internet with
Google . Make a
million on the Internet with
eBay. Let me email some pictures of
my grandchildren. Well, it is exciting, isn’t it?
The Internet as we
know it—the World Wide Web—was developed at the CERN particle
physics laboratory in
Geneva, Switzerland in 1989. In January 1993
there were only 50 Web servers online. 1993 was also the year that the first alpha
version of the
Mosaic browser was tested.
In 1995 only 8.4 million
adults used the Internet in the United States. Now, that figure is
well over 1 Billion. No other invention—not the car, the radio, or
the television has swept the market as quickly. It is, indeed, a
revolution.
