The Internet

According to Okin, when the Internet process began in 1962, there were approximately 10,000 computers in the world. All of which was priced at hundreds of thousands of dollars.

From there, AT&T answered this technology hurdle with data communication and presented a “Picturephone” in 1939 and was later presented again in the New York World’s Fair in 1964. AT&T proved to be the answer to the future of communications worldwide at this time.

From 20 years of predominant existence, in 1990 the Internet had grown considerably and had expanded to Argentina, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Chile, Greece, India, Ireland, South Korea, Spain and Switzerland.

The reality of computer viruses started to emerge and there was a report of approximately 130 in existence.

Later, in 1992 the Internet had one million hosts and really took off. The Apple computer, which debuted in 1984, started the reality of personal, affordable computers. However, by 1992, computers had a network bandwidth of 20 million times greater, as well as nine orders of magnitude faster.

In 1994, Internet celebrated its 25th anniversary and that was the same year that World Wide communities began. The United States Senate and the House of Representatives provided its own server as well as online shopping was introduced, mainly from well-known shopping malls. Another phenomenon that occurred this year is that Pizza Hut offered online ordering. A miracle for college-age students.

By 1997, most of the world was connected to the World Wide Web in a way that was going to change everybody’s lives.
