Quickly, I will review with you some facts and technical information:
The first to use the phrase “World Wide Web” on the Internet was Tim Berners-Lee in 1990.
The first search engine on the Internet was Archie, launched in 1990 by a group of researchers.
The first electronic bank or bank launched in 1994 under the name “First Virtual Holdings”, and it used to provide most of the ebay and paypal services before the establishment of these services.
Google's name comes from a mispronunciation of the word Googol, which means one number followed by a hundred zeros.
The word Adobe in Arabic means brick for building, and it is believed that the word originates from the Arabic language according to the Oxford dictionary, and some other sources say that the word means the rising sun in Spanish.

Did you know that in the past, domain registration was supported free of charge until 1995 when the "National Science Foundation" imposed fees on domain registration due to the huge increase in the demand for domains!
The first Internet worm was written in 1998 by Morris Robert Tappan, and some still call this type of software the Morris worm, and this worm has attacked more than 6000 hosts.
Finally, I will tell you about technical stories, and this time the story of Y2K:
The problem of the year 2000, or the problem of the second millennium, is a problem faced by programmers with the approach of the year 2000, as the method adopted for storing years inside the computer was based on only two numbers. For example, 1998 was stored inside the computer 98 and the computer knew that these 98 were preceded by 19, so it displayed the date 1998, This method was used to reduce the amount of space and memory used in storage.
The problem manifested itself with the approach of the year 2000, as the old method used when entering the number 00 would be displayed by the computer 1900, as if we were going back in time! And some of the other computers and programs will understand the year as if it was 19100. This was a problem and this problem led to the decline of the computer industry.
A group of bodies were damaged and led to the dispersal of data and some problems occurred across the world, for example in Ishikawa, Japan, equipment for monitoring radiation stopped in the middle of the night, and in Japan also some phone models were scanning new incoming messages instead of old ones considering that the memory had been Full.
Some large Internet sites, especially those specialized in weather conditions, showed the date in this way 19100 and other problems caused by the year 2000 due to a programming error from the beginning, and finally some solutions came, including entering the year as four digits instead of 2 and this is what most Banks, another solution is to write the year consisting of 3 numbers, for example, in 1999, inserted 099, and in 2001, entered 101, and other solutions that led to solving this problem.
