Hinweis der Redaktion

  1. The first node is connected to the internet's military ancestor, ARPANET. With no HQ and the ability to bounce messages between surviving nodes until they reach their destination, ARPANET was intended to be America's bomb-proof communications network at the height of the Cold War.
  2. Bolt Beranek and Newman computer engineer Ray Tomlinson invents email by adapting an internal messaging program and extending it to use the ARPANET to send messages between sites. The text of that first electronic missive consisted of "something like QWERTYUIOP.” The email was sent from one computer to another computer sitting right beside it in Cambridge, Massachusetts, but it traveled via ARPANET.
  3. The Queen Elizabeth sends an email from the Royal Signals and Radar Establishment in Malvern.
  4. Gary Thuerk sends what is widely considered to be the first spam message , promoting DEC. The sender is identified as Gary Thuerk, an aggressive DEC marketer who thought Arpanet users would find it cool that DEC had integrated Arpanet protocol support directly into the new DEC-20 and TOPS-20 OS. In 2008 almost 94% of all emails is spam.
  5. Scott Fahlman kick-starts smiley-culture by suggesting using the :-) and :-( smileys to convey emotions in emails.
  6. Tim Berners-Lee and the team at CERN invent the World Wide Web to make information easier to publish and access on the internet.
  7. Marc Andreesen of the National Center for SuperComputer Applications (NSCA) in the US launches web-browser Mosaic. It introduces proprietary HTML tags and more sophisticated image capabilities. The browser is a massive success and businesses start to notice the web's potential
  8. Andreesen goes on to develop the Netscape web browser. Netscape Navigator was later developed by many of the original Mosaic authors; however, it intentionally shared no code with Mosaic. Netscape Navigator's code descendant was Mozilla. Scholars consider Mosaic to be the web browser which led to the Internet boom of the 1990s. The World Wide Web's annual growth is now at a staggering 341,634%.
  9. "The Internet? We are not interested in it" - Bill Gates, 1993
  10. Jerry and David's Guide to the World Wide Web is renamed Yahoo! and receives 100,000 visitors. In 1995, it begins displaying adverts. In January 1994, Jerry Yang and David Filo were Electrical Engineering graduate students at Stanford University. In April 1994, "Jerry and David's Guide to the World Wide Web" was renamed "Yahoo!", for which the official backronym is "Yet Another Hierarchical Officious Oracle”. Filo and Yang said they selected the name because they liked the word's general definition, which comes from Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift: "rude, unsophisticated and uncouth”. Its URL was akebono.stanford.edu/yahoo.
  11. Digital Equipment Corporation's Research lab launches search engine Alta Vista , which it claims can store and index the HTML from every internet page. It also introduces the first multilingual search. In February 2003, AltaVista was bought by Overture Services, Inc.[10] In July 2003, Overture itself was taken over by Yahoo!. AltaVista's site was an immediate success. Traffic increased steadily from 300,000 hits on the first day to more than 80 million hits a day two years later. In a surprise move, Overture purchased AltaVista in February 2003 for a knockdown price of $140m, compared to its valuation of $2.3bn three years previously. Jeff Bezos launches Amazon.com , an online bookseller that pioneers ecommerce. Revenue▲ US$ 19.166 billion (2008) . Amazon's initial business plan was unusual: the company did not expect a profit for four to five years; the strategy was effective.

  14. Macromedia Flash 1.0 launches to add interactive animation to webpages. Early adopters include Disney and MSN. FutureSplash Animator was a software product for creating vector-based animations, the predecessor of Flash. It was developed by FutureWave Software, a small software company whose first product, SmartSketch, was a vector-based drawing program for pen-based computers. In 1995, the company decided that they should add animation capabilities to their product and deploy it over the burgeoning World Wide Web. The only way to create such animations on the web at the time was through the use of Java, but this was quickly replaced with the debut of Netscape's plug-in architecture. The product was released as FutureSplash Animator in May 1996.
  15. Google arrives. It pioneers a ranking system that uses links to assess a website's popularity. Google's simple design is soothing while existing search engines cram their pages with animated adverts. Google was founded by Larry Page and Sergey Brin while they were students at Stanford University and the company was first incorporated as a privately held company on September 4, 1998. The initial public offering took place on August 19, 2004, raising $1.67 billion, implying a value for the entire corporation of $23 billion. Their search engine was originally nicknamed "BackRub" because the system checked backlinks to estimate the importance of a site.
  16. Shawn Fanning launches Napster . The peer-to-peer software enables internet users to swap MP3 music files stored on their computers and to find each other through a central directory. Record labels are furious. By July 2001, they had effectively stopped Napster operating. ( See my history of file sharing ). Only two years! Napster use peaked with 26.4 million users worldwide in February 2001. Yes2web was founded
  17. The dotcom bust. After several years of venture capitalists throwing money at proposals with 'internet' on the cover, it all starts unravelling as many of these businesses fail to find a market and others realise they don't have a business plan. The dot-com bubble burst, numerically, on March 10, 2000, when the technology heavy NASDAQ Composite index peaked at 5,048.62 (intra-day peak 5,132.52), more than double its value just a year before. Percentage Lost From Peak to Bottom: The Nasdaq Composite lost 78% of its value as it fell from 5046.86 to 1114.11. Boo.com, spent $188 million in just six months[19] in an attempt create a global online fashion store. Went bankrupt in May 2000.[20] eToys: share price went from the $80 reached during its IPO in May 1999[23] to less than $1 when it declared bankruptcy in February 2001.[24] InfoSpace - In March 2000 this stock reached a price $1,305 per share,[31] but by April 2001 its price had crashed down to $22 a share The Learning Company, bought by Mattel in 1999 for $3.5 billion, sold for $27.3 million in 2000[32] Webvan - In a mere 18 months, it raised $375 million in an IPO, expanded from the San Francisco Bay Area to eight U.S. cities, and built a gigantic infrastructure from the ground up (including a $1 billion order for a group of high-tech warehouses). Webvan came to be worth $1.2 billion (or $30 per share at its peak), and it touted a 26-city expansion plan. But considering that the grocery business has razor-thin margins to begin with, it was never able to attract enough customers to justify its spending spree. The company closed in July 2001, putting 2,000 out of work and leaving San Francisco's new ballpark with a Webvan cup holder at every seat.
  18. (january 11)- US regulators approve the merger of AOL and Time Warner. Shareholders of relative upstart AOL own 55% of the new company. AOL started in 1985 and grew its modest internet connection business into one of the world's biggest media companies. NEW YORK (CNNfn) - In a stunning development, America Online Inc. announced plans to acquire Time Warner Inc. for roughly $182 billion in stock and debt Monday, creating a digital media powerhouse with the potential to reach every American in one form or another.    With dominating positions in the music, publishing, news, entertainment, cable and Internet industries, the combined company, called AOL Time Warner, will boast unrivaled assets among other media and online companies.    The merger, the largest deal in history, combines the nation’s top internet service provider with the world’s top media conglomerate. The deal also validates the Internet’s role as a leader in the new world economy, while redefining what the next generation of digital-based leaders will look like. Yes2web: kantoor mijnbouw
