It is already common knowledge that the field of information technology is an area where innovative processes are taking place at a very fast pace.
If the automotive industry had developed as quickly as computer technology has since 1971, today's cars would be moving at a speed of
480 kilometers per hour (298 miles per hour) and would consume only 1 liter of fuel per 335 kilometers (208 miles) of travel. This is how "Intel",
a leader in the computer component industry, once compared the progress of the two industries. However, for this comparison, they neglected
to mention that such cars would cost only 75 cents. In fact, the pace of network development over the past four years has been very high.
Computer publications have already called the Internet a "Network of Networks," and one magazine has defined our future as the "Internet age."
