Growth of Internet

Although the basic application and guidelines that make the Internet probable had existed for almost a decade, the system did not gain a public face until the 1990s. On August 6, 1991, CERN, which straddle the border among France and Switzerland, revealed the new World Wide Web project. The Web was imaginary by English scientist Tim Berners-Lee in 1989.

An early accepted web browser was ViolaWWW, patterned after HyperCard and built using the X Window scheme. It was eventually replaced in fame by the Mosaic web browser. In 1993, the National Center for Supercomputing application at the University of Illinois free version 1.0 of Mosaic, and by late 1994 there was growing public interest in the previously educational, technical Internet. By 1996 usage of the word Internet had become ordinary, and consequently, so had its use as a synecdoche in orientation to the World Wide Web.

Meanwhile, over the course of the decade, the Internet productively accommodated the majority of previously existing public computer networks. During the 1990s, it was predictable that the Internet grew by 100% per year, with a brief period of volatile growth in 1996 and 1997. This growth is often attributed to the lack of central management, which allows organic increase of the network, as well as the non-proprietary open scenery of the Internet protocol, which encourages seller interoperability and prevents any one company from exert too much manage over the network.
