The History of the Internet

Welcome to the History of the Internet.
This lesson is designed to teach you the history of the Internet and how it evolved through its stages of development.

For the best viewing: Make sure you resize or maximize your browser window to the full size of your screen. If your browser window takes up 100 percent of the screen, you will get the full sized movie. Anything less, the movie is proportionately resized depending on the percentage, which might cause readability problems.

You will also need to make sure you have the Macromedia Flash plug-in installed on your computer. If you cannot see the animation above, you will need to download it.
