Welcome to the World Wide Web
Everybody is talking about the Internet. Make a
million on the Internet with eTrade. 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,
50 Web servers were online. 1993 was also the year that the
Macintosh got its first browser. On the Windows side 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 200 million. No other invention—not the car, the radio, or
the television has swept the market as quickly. It is, indeed, a
revolution.
