The first Web browser was called Mosaic, and the HTML concept, although not a new one, has accelerated data access and research. In short, the idea was that although books presented information in a linear fashion, people more often than not have a need to follow it in a three dimensional pattern. Taking an example of a person who might be reading a paragraph on fractals, and then came across a reference to an XYZ Company using this technique for developing software on artificial life. A lot of desired material could be obtained and the person doesn't have to even know what the XYZ Company is.

Before the advent of HTML, either the person would have turned tothe index page at the back of the book to look for XYZ Company, or even had to go to find another book to learn about the fractals. Now with the use of HTML, a simple click on the word XYZ Company would take him to an entirely different reference that explains what the company is and what it does. After reading, a hit on the back button would navigate him back to the exact place in the document he had been reading earlier.

Every portion of the Internet was designed with the forethought to make it robust and easy to use. Even though a number of mistakes had been made during the development and some backtracking has been necessary, but, generally speaking, Internet has proven to be one of the easiest way to use systems ever evolved. This could probably be the reason that the Internet has grown so fast and so vast. The Internet has grown to over 250 million users within 12 years and has already become an integral part of our daily lives.
