Interenet - history,evoulation

In the past 3-4 decade, Internet has evolved from ARPANET which uses it to exchange information to the World Wide Web which is able to do multiple things, and connect people to different part of the world. Internet was invented by the US Department of Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) in the 1962. The early Internet users were computer experts, engineers, scientists, and librarians. In 1989, the World Wide Web was invented using the hypertext. The Internet was controlled by the US government until the 1990s before commercialization of Internet was allowed. The commercialized of Internet has brought about many benefits to people all around the world. The modern day Internet has allowed people to get information, run business, play games, even catch up with friends who are in different countries, etc. All these can be done with just a laptop or a personal computer at the comfort in one's home.
In the past, Internet had limited functions with what people can do. Now, most people cannot live without Internet because it has become the basic communication tool with the world. The invention of Internet has changed people's live, and it is still changing and affecting us. Internet has helped businesses to run 24/7. In addition, it helps many companies to save cost. Many individuals can set up businesses on the Internet without having a need to set up a physical shop. Furthermore, Internet has turned people who are "nobody" into someone well-known. The Internet is a place where many opportunities are created. Have you hop on to this trend?

Yup! The Internet is a powerful tool! I believe that in time to come, as the Internet will soon become more than a part of our lives. Like my eventual Internet-surfing fridge. Ha!
