Teacher's introduction
You know that all inventions have their history like people do.The same situation we have got with the Internet. At first people had only local networks and only after some time they felt necessity of connecting computers for creating one global communicative and informative net - THE INTERNET.
This network was invented in the late 60s by American militaries for providing an effective communicative connection in the case of enemies' attack. At first the net included only four computers that had to show the possibilities of the system. In 1972 50 universities were attached to the net, and in 1980 the work of the net was provided by supercomputers. In 1991 the Internet was formed as communicative area that connected local and regional networks. The number of users is increasing all the time. And now we have a great possibility of using this system for different purposes.
