Internet Revolution:

It all started in October 1969. Scientists at the University of California, Los Angeles, were ready for a critical experiment. They had a computer and communications node, while colleagues installed similar equipment up the coast in Menlo Park. They planned to test whether they could link the two computers over telephone lines to operate as one system. The researchers began to type in the message: 'log in' to make the link. The system crashed!!!

By the end of the month they achieved the link. This was the beginning of internet revolution. Of course, the purpose in those days was to ensure that nuclear missile systems could be kept operative even if part of the network was put out of action in a war. The commercial importance of this breakthrough was not fulfilled for another 25 years, similarly the petrol combustion engine did not lead to cars and trucks for about two decades.

Publishing is the process of production and dissemination of information – the activity of making information available for public view. In some cases authors may be their own publishers.
Traditionally, the term refers to the distribution of printed works such as books and newspapers. With the advent of digital information systems and the Internet, the scope of publishing has expanded to include electronic resources, such as the electronic versions of books and periodicals, as well as websites, blogs, and games.
