The Internet and its Beginning

The internet is the biggest convenience to society. Could anybody imagine what life would be like without it? What would you do if you needed to check Facebook, or check your e-mail. The internet has been around for so long, that we could not imagine life without it. The internet, like many other things, did not just start out the best thing on the block. When the internet was in its infancy, It was a study for information transfer between four universities. After the first stage of testing was over, the military adopted the idea of the Internet. The military’s main use for the internet was to safely transfer important information from base to base. Eventually the government refined the technology and made it more convenient and useful. Through the 80’s and early 90’s, the internet was still only available to military and universities around the country. In 1993, The World Wide Web was made for public use. The initial layout for the World Wide Web was very basic, it still had many commercial uses. Many companies started making ways to accessing the internet easier. Browser’s like Netscape ( an early version of Mozilla ), were the early ways of getting around quickly. Over the years as the population grew worldwide, more companies began selling their products using the Internet.

By the year 2000 companies were making billions of dollars through internet sales. Eventually social websites and internet gaming became more popular, giving the internet more and more purposes. In the end, the internet has evolved into an all incumbent asset to the human race.
