We are all busy talking
about and using the Internet (互联网), but
how many of us know the history of the Internet?
Many people are surprised
when they find that the Internet was set up in the 1960s. At that time,
computers were large and expensive. Computer networks (网络) didn't work well. If one computer in the
network broke down, then the whole network stopped. So a new network system had
to be set up. It should be good enough to be used by many different computers.
If part of the network was not working, information could be sent through
another part. In this way computer network system would keep on working all the
time.
At first the
Internet was only used by the government, but, in the early 1970s,
universities, hospitals and banks were allowed to use it too. However,
computers were still very expensive and the Internet was difficult to use. By
the start of the 1990s, computers became cheaper and easier to use. Scientists
had also developed software that made surfing(浏览) the Internet more convenient.
Today it is easy to
get on-line (上网) and it is said that
millions of people use the Internet every day. Sending e-mail is more and more
popular among students.
The Internet has now
become one of the most important parts of people's life.
