After 1981
The Internet
Since 1981, computers have increased dramatically in
speed. Their reach has spread to nearly every household. The
biggest advance has been the internet. Users had begun to use bulletin
boards in the early eighties, but was not until the mid-nineties that the
internet truly took off.
The primary invention that led to this phenomena was the world
wide web. Tim Berners-Lee, a researcher in Switzerland, developed the web
to make the information on the internet easier to read and understand.
This allowed the internet to be used much easier by the general public.
People began using the internet for email, shopping and for finding information.
To many it became a way of life. Computers became a part of nearly
every home, or at least the home that everyone pictures as average.
