Describe key events in the development of the internet from the 1980s to today (max. 150 words)
The internet transitioned from a military defense network to a university network in the 1980’s. In 1989 Tim Berners-Less of the European Organization for Nuclear Research created the hypertext transfer protocol (http), a standardization that gave disparate computers the ability to access the same sites. He is credited as the father of the internet. In 1993 Mosaic was created by the NCSA, the first popular web browser.
During 1997-2001 the first internet bubble grew and resulted in the dot-com crash of 2001.
From 2007 the mobile internet revolution took place with the mass adoption of smart phones that enabled internet browsing through mobiles rather than desktop computers. This also included the growth in wireless technology from 3d-4g and now the incoming 5g technologies to support mobile internet.
