Internet for everyone, the power of mandate
Back in mid 20th century, the US in fierce competition against the USRR for gaining the race for conquering the space launched its first set of packed networks, which allowed them to connect several computers to this network. This was the initiation of the Internet, as we know it today, interestingly enough, this technology remained several years in possession of the militaries and the enforcement agencies. It was only until the 80’s when with the advancement of the publicly available technology and need for advancement of the different higher education institutions, the government had to relinquish its exclusive rights to the “new” internet technology and gave up to the pressure of the community allowing the masses to get access to the internet.
In our society, the laws of efficiency and offer demand are way more powerful than the restrictions than any government may impose, as the voice of the people is the voice of the power, and there is nothing more compelling than the force of the mandate. Thanks to those who made the difference back then, we can enjoy being in the forefront of technology and development, as our society has become and eager specimen of technology and knowledge, and we enjoy today the freedom to look at the world through the very eyes of our computers.
