History of the World Wide Web

     So who really did create the internet? Well that question remains unanswered.  There is still question as to who really did create the internet.  However, it is agreed that the internet was created in 1969 at the Pentagon, and it was designed to survive a nuclear attack.  

     I bet you're wondering how e-mail was invented.  Well it never really was invented, it evolved from very simple beginnings.  The first system of e-mail was called MAILBOX which was used at Massachusetts Institute of Technology from 1965.  MAILBOX was not the only system, there was another system of e-mail which was also used, this was called SNDMSG.  Before internetworking began, e-mails could only be sent to the same computer.  It was almost like leaving a "note" on someone's desk.  Nowadays, despite what the internet has to offer, e-mail remains the most important application of the internet and it is the most widely used facility; with over 600 million people internationally using it.  Whether you have Hotmail, AOL, or G-Mail your e-mail can be sent anywhere to anyone in the world wide web and it is very simple to use.
