Introduction:
The computer is a wonderful invention. It has made the world a small village by accessing to the Internet. I am a business student and my major relies 100% on the internet. It is a superb source of information and it has made the communication easier and faster.
Brief History of the Internet:
The history of the internet begins in the 19th century with the invention of the telegraph system. The modern history of the Internet starts in the 1950s and 1960s with the development of computers. The father of the internet Tim Berners-Lee was the man leading the development of the World Wide Web (with help of course); the defining of HTML (hypertext markup language) used to create web pages, HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol) and URLs (Universal Resource Locators). All of those developments took place between 1989 and 1991. (Short history of the internet)The Internet we know today grew from seeds planted by the U.S. United States military after the cold war with the aim of having a military command and control center that could withstand nuclear attack. The point was to distribute information between geographically dispersed computers. The ARPA net opened in 1969 and was quickly usurped by civilian computer nerds who had now found a way to share the few great computers that existed at that time. (Bellis , Mary )
Benefits of Internet:
Furthermore there are a lot of benefits of the internet for the business major as whole. First of all sending emails through the internet made it easier to send documents so it is an amazing method of communication. Moreover, the internet makes it easy, fast and cheap for business students to share knowledge with other students all over the world and exchange experiences and get guidance. The information in the internet is free of cost and it is available 24 hours. Anyway the internet contains billions of websites which have different information for every topic of the world and of course there are specific websites for business purposes. As business students it is essential to get the latest news in the world. So the internet contains websites which are immediately updated with the latest news when any event happens around the world. Moreover the internet provides students with lectures and tutorials on different topics. So it is a very easy way to get education.(Pakhare , Jayashree)
