The Internet is
a global system which serves billions of users worldwide, containing
millions of smaller domestic, academic, business and governmental
networks, which present all kinds of information and services, such
as e-mail, online chat, file transfer and the inter-linked web pages
and documents of the World Wide Web, abbreviated in the famous WWW.
A
landmark in its evolution is at the end of the 20th century, when it
began the first era in which the people who own a website can have a
means of exposure on a scale comparable to mass media’s.
The
rest of the history of the Internet is full of stodgy technical terms
on which it’s not important to focus on now, as for the moment I
suppose it’s enough to know that the whole story started in the
late ‘60’s, with the purpose of serving the US’ army.
