In March 1985, Symbolics Computer company, based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, registered the world's first. com domain name and was thus recorded in history. In the same year, five other companies have joined the trend.　　Until the dotcom bubble burst in 1997, the number of. com domain names exceeded 1 million.

This is indeed an event of great significance.　　"Commercialization of the late 80 and early 90, few people know. com is what. As more and more organizations begin to connect to the Internet, which is still in its infancy, it is necessary to develop a set of organizational principles, but the origins of COM are still controversial.　　Since the early days of the Internet were not seen as a business place, but as a platform for government and education to exchange views, it was unlikely that COM would come from companies. It is widely believed that the turning point of the. com development was the Mosaic web browser launched by Netscape, which enabled mainstream users to browse the Internet. The current monthly registered. com domain name reached 668,000, these domain names have become a part of our lives.　　Today, people use the. com website to shop, make friends, book hotels, entertain, learn and exchange ideas. Robert Atkinson, chairman of the Information Technology Innovation Foundation (hereinafter referred to as "itif"), said: ". com has Robert Atkinson our lives in ways we have never imagined before." Ten years ago, daily life did not visit the. com site is completely fine. You can get everything you want. But now,. com has greatly enriched our lives. Not using the. com Web site may not be a problem, but it will lag far behind others. "One of the very important evidence is the commercialization process of. com. It brings more choices and value to consumers, and brings more users and profits to the enterprise.　　ITIF's research shows that businesses that use the Internet have an average 2.7% increase in profitability. The study also found that the economic benefits brought about by the Internet are about 15,000Billions of dollars is higher than global drug sales, renewable energy investments and government investment in research and development.　　By 2020, the Internet's contribution to the global economy will reach $3.8 trillion trillion, surpassing Germany's GDP. Looking ahead it is estimated that the total number of Internet users is about 1.7 billion people, accounting for about One-fourth of the global population.　　VeriSign's Macrolin believes the figure will continue to increase over the next 25 years. "Most of the information we have today is obtained through PCs and notebooks, and I think that will change," he said. Speech will be more important than text input. I think the way we visit, search, and access information will change dramatically. "At present, VeriSign received about 53 billion domain names per day, equivalent to the annual figures for 1995." But it is not limited to. com domain names. "We expect this number to reach 3 to 4 trillion by 2020," Macrolin said. "25 years ago, when a small computer company took the first step to connect with the world, no one could predict this phenomenal growth rate." (PEI)
