A Brief History...

It all started back in 1968, on a network then called "ARPANET", and designed by the Advanced Research Projects Agency. A networked transmission took place between computers at UCLA, UC Santa Barbara, Stanford, and the University of Utah. A few years later the United States Department Of Defense took over "ARPANET" as an alternate method of communication, which then developed into the DOD's official computer network. A network we know refer to as the Internet. A "vision" which in the last decade has gone from an occasional resource which only a handful of companies and universities across the country knew of, and a very limited number of companies offered public access to things such as UNIX e-mail or text based "web" surfing via LYNX. Now it's an everyday tool that can be accessed almost anywhere in the world and used by anyone, it's called the World Wide Web or WWW as it's commonly referred to.
