Who invented E-commerce and WWW
Who invented E-commerce
1979 is the year in which an entrepreneur named Michael Aldrich invented Online Shopping later called e-commerce. He created a system that connected a modified television to a computer. This computer was capable of processing transaction details via telephone lines. The system can be considered a forerunner of today's e-commerce, as a trivia note I will add that Aldrich himself called this project "teleshopping" (Stanley, 2022)
Who invented World Wide Web (WWW)
1989 is the year in which computer scientist Tim Berners-Lee developed outline of a system that could exchange information between different research institutions. A year later, back with an engineer named Robert Cailliau, they wrote a concept that was based on the World Wide Web in which a single "web" consisting of what they called "hypertext documents" was capable of being viewed by a browser. Then it came to setting up the first Web server and presenting what they meant. Three years after that, that is, in 1993, the entire project they were working on was put out for public use. This project of theirs was the foundation of today's Internet (Brahambhatt, 2021).
