Recent inventions and technical advances have changed the face and, indeed, the entire functionality of the Internet as most people know it. Many events have contributed to this change, but none as much as the computing method known as Database Management Systems (DBMS). Since its inception in the last century, the way computers process information has grown and expanded to a point that would have been difficult for early programmers to imagine. This growth has actually spurred the growth of the telecommunications industry. Transportation systems have grown with the advancement of computers in general, but the enormous amount of data required by DBMSs has created the need for massive transportation capabilities and the birth of what we call the Internet (Grad, 2009). Without the push of the DBMS, the Internet itself may not exist. From historical data, through the war and cold war years, to the last few decades, each technology is absolutely dependent on the other to continue moving forward. If one stagnates, both will stop. The telecommunications and DBMS industries are so connected and intertwined that they have their roots in the same two people. While humans have been creating and processing written information for much of our existence, we have only recently expanded the amount of data we work with. with on a daily basis. Books and newspapers have been used for hundreds of years. Encyclopedias and scientific manuals have made it possible to archive and use knowledge by educational structures. Companies have grown by advertising their products with catalogs and brochures. Towards the end of the 19th century, the process of encoding a letter into machine language was created. Paper punch cards have been used for a time to control some aspects of machinery,......half the card......ttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8K -xbx7jBMIncoln. (n.d.). The SAGE air defense system.
