velopment of two browsers to interact with Internet interfaces via the World Wide Web server at the Geneva Lab. These browsers were presented to various organizations and audiences.By 1993 there was fifty Web servers in existence and traffic on the Web increased approximately 10 fold by mid 1993. By October 1993 there was approximately 500 servers. The Web again, was rapidly moving forward.1994: The New York Times continually published articles about the Web and it's potential uses. A browser was developed by the Legal Information Institute at Cornell University for the use with Microsoft Windows. Development of systems to “Secure The Web” were in place and the licensing of browsers to commercial developers, such as Netscape Communications took hold. 12Web browsers that take full advantage of this new technology make the Internet easy to use. It is not hard to see where the history of attractiveness and usability has come from in the computing world. Essentially, the World Wide Web and its browsers have done for the Internet in 1994 what the Macintosh did for the personal computer ten years before. (But that’s another Electronic’s Revolution story!) Simply put, people could use Macintoshes easily, and that’s something that was never true of the IBM PC or its mainframe predecessors. The Mac hid the difficulties of the command-line with a bunch of objects you could click on with a mouse.

Perhaps, if not already, the most important Internet tool of all, electronic mail.The development of technology is an inherently dynamic and cumulative process. Dynamic, because a technology is never perfect; there is always room for improvement. Cumulative, because fo...
