Netscape
Netscape started off in 1994 as Mosiac Netscape. This later changed when the makers of NCSA Mosiac took legal action for the name. This became Netscape Navigator. It took the market while still in beta due to its availability. Netscape started fighting with Internet Explorer until it was included with Windows 98, easily taking users from Netscape. As time went on, Netscape continued to be less popular, and in 2007, discontinued the web browser because of AOL, and shifted over to Mozilla Firefox and Flock.
The Internet
The Internet began early development when the USSR won the space race, and we had decided to compete to be technologically superior. The technology was based off of several radar stations linked together as a network. It started as a packet switching system, and worked up to sites connected to ARPANET. Dial-up came around with a 56 kilobit per second download stream, which is 8KB/s. Although the Internet continued to grow throughout the 80's, it didn't become well-known until the 90's, when it became publicly announced. Since then, the Internet has grown substantially, becoming extremely fast and efficient for everybody.
