No fewer than 100,000 computers are now forming a network. 1990 is the year of the most historic, when Tim Berners Lee to find a program editor and a browser that can roam from one computer to another computer, which form a network. The program is called www, or Worl Wide Web.

In 1992, the computers that are connected to form the network has exceeded a million computers, and in the same year the term surfing the internet.
