Are you a blogger? Do you use DSL? Have you ever heard of VoIP? If so, you might be interested in the history of what we use to call World Wide Web.

The idea of a network for exchanging information between computers in different locations was born in 1969 when the ARPANET was introduced. Its purpose was to link universities throughout the USA via telephone line.

In the course of time more and more computers were connected and soon the ARPANET was replaced by a national network which made the internet accessible not only to research establishments but also to private users and enterprises. A protocol for the connection of several networks called TCP/IP was introduced. In the early nineties the adoption of a system of hypertext documents for transferring texts and pictures via internet followed and lead to the creation of what we know as World Wide Web.

To allow users a faster transmission of a higher data volume a technology known as digital subscriber line (DSL) was implemented and created a market for various providers of different DSL based internet accesses. One version is the DSL flat rate that offers internet access at a fixed rate. Nowadays a majority of customers use DSL because of its high speed.

With the evolution of DSL the World Wide Web has become an important part of life. It is a platform, a source of information and an amusement. Not to mention its economic meaning. According to statistics, more than one billion people use the internet nowadays and the figure will presumably increase in future especially with DSL being constantly enhanced.
