That sparked a revolution in computer networking. New networks formed, connecting universities and research centers across the globe. But for the next 20 years, the internet wasn’t accessible to the public. It was restricted to university and government researchers, students, and private corporations. There were dozens of programs that could trade information over telephone lines, but none of them were easy to use. The real open internet, and the first web browser, wasn’t created until 1990.
由此，引发了计算机网络的一场革命。之后不同的网络相继建立，连接了全球的各所大学与研究中心。但在接下来的 20 年里，公众仍无法访问互联网，只有大学与政府机关内的研究人员、学生与私人企业可以使用。有许多程序可以通过电话线在计算机间交换信息，但都算不上好用。真正开放的互联网与第一款 Web 浏览器，直到 1990 年才显露雏形。
