By 1987 the computer market on American college campuses was thriving. Sales people from all the personal computer companies were actively pursuing the business of college administrators, professors and officials. They were selling computers less than half price and were adding attractive bonuses such as free software and support services. They were willing to venture a great deal of time and money in this market because they foresaw that it would thrive for a long time.

SURFING  THE  NET

What is more important to mankind than the inventions of the Industrial Revolution? There can be only one answer: the Internet. Multimedia, the electronic publishing revolution, is entering every area of our lives – college, work and home.

The electronic superhighway provides an entry to libraries, research institutions, databases, art galleries, census bureaus, etc. For those of us interested in intellectual communications Cyberspace is a universal community, with instant access not only to information anywhere, but also to friends old and new around the globe.

Large scale use of computer-to-computer transfer of information was implemented by the US military in the late 60s and early 70s – part of the superpower competition of the cold war and the arms race. The US military created an electronic network to use computers for handling the transfer of large amounts of sensitive data over long   distances at incredible speed. Computer-to-computer virtual connections, using satellites and fiber optics, have distinct advantages over telephone or radio communiсations in the event of nuclear attack. Mathematicians and scientists have been linked and electronically exchanging information over the Internet since the mid-70s. Now the Internet has become commercialized with private and public companies offering access to it. (CompuServe is the best-known international commercial electronic access provider). The Internet is being expanded and improved so that every home, every school, every institution can be linked to share data, information, music, video and other resources. If you have a computer or a computer terminal, some kind of connection (probably, modem and telephone line) to the Internet, and some kind of Internet service provider, you can participate in electronic communication and become a citizen of the global village.
