INTRODUCTION
The emergence of new technologies and the fast-paced technological advancements marked the beginning of the 21st century. Different gadgets and tools to suffice the wants and to help ease the difficulties encountered by man in his daily existence have been invented and are constantly developed. Unlike in the past, these changes are not confined to a certain nation or country only, but rather, to the whole human population. Effects of these technologies in the fields of medicine, education, transportation, communication, economics, and warfare, to name a few, are globally observable. Information superhighway is undoubtedly one of the most developed fields. Extensive researches have been done to improve this indispensable field.
The development of what was known to mankind today as Internet is one of the most successful attempts to improve the communication framework. The history of Internet could be traced back to 1960’s. Before the Internet was created, the U.S. military had developed and deployed communications networks, including a network known as ARPANET (Advanced Research Projects Agency Network). Uses of the networks were restricted to military personnel and the researchers who developed the technology. Many people regard the ARPANET as the precursor of the Internet (Microsoft Encarta 2008).
