THE INTERNET

Not long ago, it would have been hard to get an Internet article published outside
the confines of the specialized computer pages. Today editors are commissioning
Internet articles, which means they are planning publication before they have even read
them. To some extent, of course, journalism is a fashion industry. Previously, the focus
has been on microcomputers, virtual reality, computer viruses and video games. Now it
is the Internet that is fashionable.
A popular question is: ‘who is on the Internet?’ Apart from the White House, the
American Library of Congress and the Science Museum, computer hardware and
software suppliers are significant users, partly because they have the plethora of PCs,
modems and communications programs required to exploit on-line access. Most of the
world´s universities and research institutes are on the Internet because linking them was,
after all, the reason the Internet was invented.
The Internet grew out of the ARPAnet, sponsored by the US Defense
Department´s Advanced Research Projects Agency; to start with, this linked four
university campuses in California and the University of Utah. The real Internet came
into being in 1980 when the ARPAnet was connected to the Computer Science
Research Network.
