Also, the innovation of the common set of technical protocol, TCP/IP, cannot be overlooked for the rapid growth in Internet. This software enable computers using various carriers such as telephone line, cable TV and satellite channels to send different form of data like text messages, sound file or an image to each specific computer (Lee, B, 1999). Without this software, Internet may not be growth so rapidly because of the limitation of data transmission, which critically affect the one of the strength of Internet: the convenience to access thousands of valuable information, over other broadcasting media. .
Other than the common protocol innovation, the invention of World Wide Web and Mosaic are the key for the booming of Internet as it greatly enhance the user-friendliness of internet. As Pavilk, J said, perhaps the most important and fastest growing part of the internet is the World Wide Web (1998, pp36). The development of World Wide Web allow a range of information combined with text, sound and images. According to Flew, T, it (World Wide Web) allowed for the display of colourful pictures, music and audio as well as data and text, and introduced multimedia capability to the Internet (2002, pp.14). Also, Flew, T also mentioned that the documents in World Wide Web are hypertext documents which allow users to link directly to other relevant information (2002, pp.14). Because of these, Internet is user-friendlier as the information on the Internet is displayed by multi-media document and users can drill down to the information which they are interested. .
The development of the Mosaic in 1993, the first web browser, contribute the World Wide Web even more successful since it provided a graphical user interface that let users simply click a mouse on images or words to select text, images, or sounds from the many databases available in the Internet (Pavilk, J, 1998, pp. 38). The innovation of WWW and mosaic caused Internet grow dramatically to global network.
