A fascinating, accessible and expertly written introduction to the most important invention in human history: the internet.
<p><b>The internet is everywhere. But how did it start? How has it changed? And what will it look like in the future?</b><br><br>No development in human history has changed the world as radically, or as quickly, as the advent of the internet. There’s almost no aspect of 21st-century life that it hasn’t shaped or fundamentally altered, for better or for worse. But the history of the internet is longer than you might think. Its foundations stretch as far back as the 1960s, decades before it would become an accessible and inescapable part of everyday life.<br><br>In this new entry in the <b>bestselling Bite-Sized Chunks</b> series, author and journalist Chris Stokel-Walker traces the internet from its (relatively) humble beginnings to the ubiquitous force that exists today, from email and dial-up to social media and the metaverse.<br><br><b>Breaking down complex concepts</b> around how the world wide web works, how it has changed over time, and the effects it has had on the world as we know it, as well as explaining key terminology and spotlighting important figures,<i> The History of the Internet in Byte-Sized Chunks</i> explains <b>everything you need to know</b> about this era-defining technology in short, <b>easy-to-digest chapters</b>.</p>
