The Internet began in the end of the 1960’s when the United States Department of Defense, decided to help scientists and researchers from different areas work together by funding the development of data network that would allow networked computers communicate efficiently. The idea was to share scarce and expensive computers and their files.

Subsequent advances in data network and telematics in the last decade has revolutionized the net.
