- 1972 FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is the result of researchers needing to send documents to one another.
- 1979 USENET(discussion groups) were born. Over 10,000 of them today!
- 1990 Archie helps us find files on the Internet.
- 1992 Gopher lets you find stuff in lots of different computers at the same time.
- 1992 World Wide Web was born. It is built on the use of hypertext links. (look at the section on the WWW)
