6). Servers on Novell networks were originally called file servers because they were intended to have much larger disk capacity than any individual workstation and thus could be the repository of data files that were too large for the disks of workstations. This made economic sense when disk storage cost several dollars per megabyte and will still make sense when it costs fractions of a penny per megabyte. Cyberspace is an expanding universe. That data expands to exceed the capacity of available disks is the second law of computer dynamics.
The term “Internet,” a nominalized shortening of “InterNetworking,” came into use in 1982. Its aptness comes from the fact that the Internet is not a single network but a network of networks, and the technology that makes it possible is the technology for routing data from one network to another.

Networks of personal computers came into existence as the result of this increased demand.
