The internet started out as “Advanced Communications Systems” in the 80’s in 90’s by AT&T. They worked on how to get computers to talk to each other. This was a great idea however it could not be executed for another 10-15 years. The advent of this technology has changed the world.

The internet started out as a concept from the government as a method of encrypted information bounced from many different sources.
