Hi We have a project at school were I am going to find out how the Internet has developed over the last 10-15 years. Do any of you have a link to somewhere I can find something about it? |

You might want to search for arpanet (sometimes spelled aarpanet). Biggest impediment to early growth was reluctance on the part of mainframe shops to consider TCP/IP as a "real" protocol because of it's stateless nature and lack of error recovery. When a graphical browser capable of displaying pictures was introduced in 92/93 the net took off. -------------

Untrue, it was developed my Universities to "communicate". Well maybe the Military had something similar but if I remember correctly it was more of a BBS system. ------------- http://baumannphoto.com" rel="nofollow - Blog | http://mpgtracker.com" rel="nofollow - MPG Tracker |
