jun 26, 1997 - The government started heavily marketing the internet

Description:

The internet a vast global system of interconnected computer networks previously used exclusively by governments, militaries, and large corporations, became a consumer product that changed the way the average person does business. Not only did the expansion of the Internet allow people to communicate with someone on the opposite side of the earth, but it became integral to human activity. Martin Luther King Jr. would think that the internet could be a new way to communicate with people from all walks of life meaning that everyone can learn a different perspective from other people so we can all know how similar we all actually are.
