Evolution of Internet and Innovation of Third Party Apps |
It was in the early 1950's when the internet was initially conceived parallel
of development of electronic computers.
It was first tested by the U.S Department of Defense followed by Professor
Leonard Klein rock at the University of California in 1969 when he sent a
message through ARPANET.
The concept was then tested in other parts of the United States regarding
extensive area networking that connected several computers to one connection.
The concept testing was then followed in the United Kingdom and France by the
end of 1970.
The success of ARPANET project led to the start of revolution called the

people to gain knowledge/ search on anything and everything just by having
access to the internet.

United States of America and few dozen countries of Europe. The rise in the west
led to gain interest among few Asian countries in the mid-2006-07.
The surge brought a lot of competition within companies providing a search
engine that would accumulate all of the listed sites on the internet.
The real competition began in 2008, and almost 90% of the companies providing
search engine were closed, and the race only existed between Bing, Yahoo, Google
and Ask.
This competition led to many more innovations in the field of the internet such
as an Upbringing of Social Media platforms from 2005-06 which would purely
define the existence of the internet, i.e., to connect with people from all over
the world, talk with each other and perform other social life-based actions.

to people doing online shopping/trading, reading the news over the internet,
sharing their stories/views/opinion through blog posts.
It motivated more and more businesses to go online and expand into the global
market without much of investment.

much effort.

across the globe.

millions in name, and also, the number of users accessing the internet increased
in the fold of 75%.

in India. Flipkart after Facebook was the revolution in Online Business in
India.
