Book Description: INTRODULTION
History and background of the Internet, World Wide Web, and other on-line services
No matter how old you are, you have had to have heard the terms on-line, Internet, cyberspace, the World Wide Web, America On-Line or some deviation of them. Most people, all over the world, are basically aware that these service and communication media exist, but have never gone on-line to experience them.
Today, with billions of people in the world, over 40 million people as of 1997, have access to the Internet and/or World Wide Web. The Internet was created in the 1960's by the Defense Department under the authority of President Richard Nixon as a way for the world's computers to seamlessly communicate if ever there were a nuclear holocaust. Originally, the primary computer networks linked to this system of communications were universities and government databases including the military and a few large corporate systems.
The Internet was essentially abandoned by the government in the early seventies. For twenty years, it was used mostly by researchers and college students. As a matter of fact, it was considered "bad taste" for a company to be on the Internet until the creation of "HTTP" in 1991. Hyper Text Transfer Protocol allowed the Internet to evolve from a text only environment to one of graphics, video and sound. No longer a medium just for computer geeks and nerds, the Internet evolved into a medium to now not only be driven by text but also by vivid interactivity. The news media picked up on this government-backed innovation and have sensationalized its growth ever since.
