I don’t think the world was ready for what was about to happen in early 1960s. During that time things happened that you could say changed the world.

J.C.R. Licklider of MIT first proposed a global network of computers in 1962, and moved over to the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) in late 1962 to head the work to develop it. Leonard Kleinrock of MIT and later UCLA developed the theory of packet switching, which was to form the basis of Internet connections. Lawrence Roberts of MIT connected a Massachusetts computer with a California computer in 1965 over dial-up telephone lines. It showed the feasibility of wide area networking, but also showed that the telephone line's circuit switching was inadequate. Kleinrock's packet switching theory was confirmed.

In today’s scenario Internet has become "central nervous system of the world." Its global connectivity feature at low cost and being a user friendly has made e-business possible for everyone. The Internet with its information and communication power has enabled business to connect and maintain strong relations with customers and all other related parties. The Internet has transformed how many people do business and continues to grow at an astounding rate (Larry Kesslin, President, Let's Talk Business Network). Beginning of Internet Era in business Since the mid-1990s, the Internet has had a revolutionary impact on culture and commerce (Wikipedia). Existing enterprises went through stages of deployment of the Internet, most of which had minimal impact on their work. Simply put, between 1994 and 1998, managers went through a period of discovery, creating their first Web sites, populating them with information about their firms, products, and services, and providing contact information. Initially, it started with providing information about company’s products on Internet, the look and feel of which mirrored the printed brochures of the 1980’s and early 1990’s. The range of possible uses of the Internet in the business expanded all through the 1990s and the early 2000s as the technology evolved and became capable...

...Internet and it’s Affect on Business Capella University Technology has been able to provide advancements in quality of life across the world. One of the biggest forms of technology is the use of the internet in a variety of different business sectors. One of the fastest growing forms of Internet use revolves around online schooling. The result is not only because of the access of the Internet, but the vast amount of resources now available just a click away. Online schooling provides several advantages and disadvantages, but the new opportunities afforded due to the change are winning out. The growth of attending online school is becoming popular by both the students and the institutions because money talks; attending and producing an online learning environment are cheaper than running and attending a traditional college or university. The school does not have to pay for the space because everything is attended to online. In addition, the instructors do not have to be responsible for creating their own teaching material; this material can be shared among like classes (Chaffee, 2011). The online environment also opens up doors for a different type of teaching. No longer is the tenured professor the person in demand, now anyone with the correct education can be considered for an adjunct instructor position. This change from professor to instructor means a decrease in operating costs for the school. The economy is making the balance of work and life much harder. Being a...
