How the Internet has changed the world رابط الدرس الـ www.ien.edu.sa It all started in 1969 when a student at the University of Stanford tried to log in to a university computer, from his home in Los Angeles. This gave scientists the idea that people could communicate through computers, instead of posting letters or talking by telephone. Many scientists researched ways to try and do this. In 1990 Tim Berners-Lee and Robert Dailliau succeeded. They created a system for people to communicate with each other and find out information using computers. In the beginning, they called it the "Worldwide Web”. They changed the name to "The Internet" later. The Internet started with a few basic websites and e-mail. At first, it was used mainly by scientists, governments and the military. Now, more than 30 years later, there are more than four and a half billion users of the Internet (about half of the world's population!). E-mail, instant messaging and online video calls connect people across the globe for business, education and social purposes. Social networks allow people to communicate with large numbers of friends, and upload pictures and videos to share. Information is accessible to everyone online. All you need to do is 'Google' a few key words and you get numerous sites and documents. We can also now learn via the Internet. People can attend university or courses online and obtain academic and professional qualifications. وزارت 14 ليم Ministri Education 2024-14 MG_01_COMBO_TEXT_2024.indb 14 30/4/24 2:00 AM
