trying to find new Things to satisfy the people but
the process is still infinite. In the 1990s, Internet
connectivity began to proliferate in enterprise and
consumer markets, but was still limited in its use
because of the low performance of the network
interconnects. In the 2000s Internet connectivity
became the norm for many applications and today

and consumer products to provide access to
