Happy www.birthday.net. Internet turn 40.

Internet turn 40.In fall 1969, computers sending data between two California universities set the stage for the Internet, which became a household word in the 1990s.

By the late 1960s computers were being used by NASA and other government agencies.

Then on September 2nd 1969, in a lab at the University of California, Los Angeles, two computers passed test data through a 15-foot gray cable.

In the 70s, the silicone chip became the basis of a new generation of computerized devices .

Following the silicone chip, came games and e-mail, creating a social and industrial revolution.
The Internet didn’t become a household word until the 90s, though, when Lee, a British physicist invented the Web and service providers like America Online connected millions of people for the first time.

With the great evolvement of the World Wide Web and computers, everyone is waiting to see what the next generation of communication and gaming devices will look like.

Twitter and Facebook don’t really enable you to do anything you couldn’t have done before with old protocols and services such as IRC, but they focus on you – the person – and they make it easier than ever to share and to connect with other people.
