1990s Technology
Technology, can it get any better than this? Absolutely. Not a lot was happening when it came to technology in the 1990s compared to 2015. The first World Wide Web server was created in the 1990s. From the 1980s to the 1990s space shuttle missions had doubled because of the better and newer technology that was being produced. Technology was introduced to the public through the public library systems. Technology in the 1990s wasn’t good but newer and greater technology was being introduced and marketed to the public.
The first World Wide Web was launched December 12, 1991. Tim Berners-lee bought the computer that became the world’s first World Wide Web server. The World Wide Web came to America on December 12, 2001 exactly …show more content…
The Hubble Space Telescope, NASAś first great observatory was processed at Kennedy space center in central Florida and launched April 24, 1990. The Compton Gamma Ray Observatory which was the heaviest payload to have flown in space at the time of its launch April 5, 1991 weighed 17-tons or 32,000 pounds aboard shuttle Atlantis. The Chandra X-ray Observatory which was the third thing launched into space was launched into a high Earth orbit aboard shuttle Columbia on July 23, 1999. July 4, 1997 the Mars Pathfinder with the Sojourner micro-rover was launched and was the first rover to explore the surface of the Red Planet, it lasted 12 times its life expectancy of seven days and returned up to 550 images of the area surrounding the rover.
Public libraries provided public access to the computers which also had access to the internet since the early 1990s. Even though they could still get public access to the internet at public libraries it still wasn't all that great because the World Wide Web was still in its initial development. In 1994, 20.9 percent of public libraries, and 12.7 percent offered public access computers. But by 1998 internet connectivity in public libraries grew to 83.6 percent and 73.3 percent of public libraries provided public internet access. Then connectivity grew from 20.9 percent in 1994 to nearly 100 percent in
