WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THAT |
|
Internet technology is a
primitive precursor of the Information Superhighway, a theoretical goal of
computer communications to provide schools, libraries, businesses, and homes
universal access to quality information that will educate, inform, and
entertain. As of December 2005 over 70 million sites were connected to the
Internet. |

GENIUS AT WORK |
|
The World Wide Web (WWW) has revolutionized the
computer and communications world like nothing before. The invention of
the telegraph, telephone, radio, computer and Internet set the stage for
this unprecedented integration of capabilities. Invented by
Tim
Berners-Lee in 1991, the Web has become a medium for collaboration and
interaction between individuals and their computers without regard to
geographic location. |

SPECIAL FEATURE |
|
Many inventions have taken
several centuries to develop into their modern forms and modern
inventions are rarely the product of a single inventor's efforts. The
bits and pieces of a computer (including the software) came together
over many centuries, many people each adding a small contribution.
