Net origin
-
In the 1960, researchers began experimenting with linking computers. They
wanted to see if computers in different locations could be linked using a new
technology known as packet switching. This technology, in which data
meant for another location is broken up into little pieces, each with its own
“forwarding address” had the promise of letting several users share just one
communications line. Their goal was not the creation of today`s
international compute-using community, but the development of a data
network that could survive a nuclear attack.
-
Previous computer networking efforts had required a line between each
computer on the network, sort of like a one-track train route. The packet
system allowed to create data highway. Each packet was given the computer
equivalent of a map and a time stamp, so that it could be sent to the right
destination, where it would then be reassembled into a message the computer
or a human could use.
This system allowed computers to share data and researchers to exchange
electronic mail, or e-mail. In itself, e-mail was something of a revolution,
offering the ability to send detailed letters at the speed of a phone call.
-
As this system grew, some college students developed a way to use it to
conduct online conferences. These started as science – oriented discussions,
but they soon branched out into virtually every other field as people
recognized the power of being able to “talk” to hundreds, or even thousands,
of people around the country.
-
In the 1980s, this network of networks, which became known as the Internet,
expanded at a phenomenal rate. Hundreds, then thousands of colleges,
research companies and government agencies began to connect their
computers to this worldwide Net. Some companies unwilling to pay the high
costs of the Internet access ( or unable to meet strict government regulations
for access) learned how to link their own systems to Internet, even if “only”
for e-mail and conferences. Some of these systems began offering access to
the public. Now anybody with a computer and modem, persistence and a
small amount of money could tap into the world.

Thank you for your letter. I am afraid that we have a problem with your
order. Unfortunately, the manufacturers of the part you wish to order have
advised us that they can’t supply it until November. Would you prefer us
to supply a substitute, or would you rather wait until the original parts are
again available?
