The idea for the Internet was born from the launch of the Russian
Sputnik satellite in 1957. The US government was worried that the then
Soviet Union possessed superior technological capability and could
potentially strike the US with a nuclear missile. So it began to prepare
for the consequence. The Internet essentially began as way to
communicate if part of the country was destroyed.
In
1969 the technology was advanced enough to begin testing it at
universities and the first successful test was completed between the
UCLA and Stamford campuses in California.
It wasn't until around 1991 that the Internet was introduced for individual and commercial purposes.
Today
we see more an more users clustered around the same sites. Facebook,
Google, Apple and Amazon collectively consume most of our attention and
that's sad because there is so much more to it.
