3.5 Establishing Ethernet standards The first Ethernet network was developed in the early 1970s, long before the days of the World Wide Web and personal computers (PCs).

Belzec was the first to come into operation in February 1942, killing people with carbon monoxide first released from bottles and subsequen 3.4 What has any of this to do with computers? Human beings invented computers because we have a compelling interest in data. We seek to turn our perceptions of sensations into symbols, and then to store, analyse, process, and turn these symbols into something else: information.
