PRELUDE:

31. It appears that the age of internet, began in 1969 as a network of just 4 computers located at the University of California at Los Angeles, the University of California at Santa Barbara, the University of Utah and the Stanford Research Institute. At around the same time, the U.S. Department of Defence established the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) and established ARPAnet, the world's first decentralised computer network. Though Doug Engelbart invented the mouse for prototyping an online system for hypertext browsing and editing and the hypertext editing system was developed by Andy Van Dam in the 1960s, the next decade saw the development of electronic mail, telnet and FTP. The early 1980s brought the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and Internet Protocol (IP) which led to the development of web technology using Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML) and Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (http). The web technology, known as "World Wide Web" (www), that was developed by Tim Berners Lee while working for CERN in 1991, became available freely from 1993. It led to the development of three basic types of search tools known as (i) search engines (ii) search agents and (iii) hand-built directories.
