ABSTRACT
The advent of the Internet is almost as significant as electricity, the assembly line, the telephone, and the steam engine. Other than the Internet, few concepts have caught the attention of financial markets, news media, government bureaucrats, and the public at large with so much sound and fury. The Internet has become the leading buzzword that has so many definitions and is known variously as the electronic, interactive, or multimedia information superhighway. The Internet is a large group of millions of computers located around the world that are all connected to one another over a maze of networks. The history of the Internet starts in the 1950s and 1960s with the development of computers. This began with point-to-point communication between mainframe computers and terminals, expanded to point-to-point connections between computers and then early research into packet switching. The idea of the World Wide Web was later introduced in 1989 by Sir Tim Berners-Lee, considered the father of the Internet.
