Hyper Text Markup Language

The Internet is a world-wide public computer network. The Internet was originally founded by the Department of Defense in the 1970s using transmission control pro-tocol/Internet protocol to connect computers and networks. Since the inception of Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML) in the early 1990s, the Internet evolved from text-based communications platforms to graphically interfaced web pages. HTML fueled the development of the Internet into websites that would be publicly accessible, be hosted via Internet-connected network servers, and allow for other media files rather than mere text to be accessed.
