Why such a fast change-over? In less than 7 years more internet users than vtx users
There was a rise of PC users between 1988 and 1994
Traditional companies hardly noticed Internet and missed the
boat Traditional online was bound to state companies (PTT) or
private companies
Traditional systems were authoritarian; internet offered freedomof form and media
There was an influx of students who had learned to work withinternet; the influx was larger in numbers than the users oftraditional information systems
Microsoft bundled the first Internet Explorer in the upgrade ofWindows in 1996
