Some prior art is a series of scientific work that led to the creation of the Internet a more integrated and more capable. Internet has the capability of broadcasting to the world, has a mechanism for information dissemination, and as a medium for collaboration and interaction between individuals with the computer without being limited by geography.

The Internet is a most successful example of business investment that can never stop and commitment to research following the development of information technology infrastructure. Starting with a study packet switching (packet switching), government, industry and the civitas academica have collaborated effort to change and create this exciting new technology.

This research program known as the ARPANET. In 1970, already more than 10 computers are successfully connected to each other so that they can communicate with each other and form a network.

In 1972, Roy Tomlinson managed to complete the e-mail program that he created a year ago for the ARPANET. E-mail program is so simple it immediately became popular. In the same year, the icon @ also introduced as an important symbol that shows the "at" or "on". In 1973, ARPANET computer network were developed outside the United States.

In 1981 France Telecom creates a buzz by launching the first television telephone, where people can call each other while associated with the video link.

Because the computers that form a network of daily increasing, it needed a formal protocol that is recognized by all networks. In 1982 established Transmission Control Protocol or TCP and Internet Protocol or IP as we know it all. Meanwhile in Europe appear counter computer network known as Eunet, which provides computer network services in these countries the Netherlands, Britain, Denmark and Sweden. Eunet network providing e-mail and USENET newsgroups.

To homogenize the address on existing computer networks, then in 1984 the domain name system was introduced, which now we are familiar with DNS or Domain Name System. Computers that are connected with the existing network has more than 1000 computers more. In 1987 the number of computers that are connected to the network soared 10-fold to 10,000 more.

In 1988, Jarko Oikarinen of Finland in discovered and at once introduced the IRC or Internet Relay Chat. A year later, the number of interconnected computers soared 10-fold return in a year. No fewer than 100,000 computers are now forming a network. Year 1990 is the year's most historic, when Tim Berners Lee to find a program editor and browser that can roam from one computer to another computer, which form a network. The program is called www, or the World Wide Web.

In 1992, computers that are connected to each other form the network has exceeded a million computers, and in the same year the term surfing the internet. In 1994, the website has grown to 3000 pages address, and for the first time in a virtual-shopping or e-retail surfaced on the internet. The world changed. In the same year Yahoo! established, which is also well-born Netscape Navigator 1.0.
