In the Beginning of the early 1960′s there was no such thing as Computer Networks, but in the late 1960′s it emerged. As Computer networks emerged people started to notice that computer networks inherited many properties from its predessors called the telephone Network. Which this was no suprise because the telephone and the computer are both universal ways of communication. At this time computer networking brought something new to the world of communication namely the inexhaustable store of information. The Information store is continuing to grow at a steadily fast rate, this became more in the 1980′s. But in the 60′s there were only 2 types of computer networking. the first to come alog was the Local Area network (LAN) which was used for Local areas, such as for home use, small businesses and schools. then came along the Wide Area network (WAN). Wide area networks which were computer newtworks that covered a broad area, which were also used when the need for connecting computers located at longer distances from one another. Which that satrated with the solution for simplier tasks such as providing access to a computer terminal located hundreds even thousnads of miles away. That was where the modem came in to play which was used to connectterminal to the computer through the telephone. Most peopple in the time used the Local area network.After they developed each network they decided to develope a third which was called a metropolitian area network. the Metropolitain area network was pretty much only used in larger cities. Once into the 80′s and 90′s wide area connection were operated on the basis of fast digital channels, which significantly widen the the variety of services earlier developed in the local area network. So by late 1990′s the World wide web was created to be the mainn information service of the internet.
