Usenet's roots go back to 1979 when the idea of sharing information and news within a community of computer users was realized by two graduate students. They develop conferencing software and connect computers at Duke and the University of North Carolina. Usenet grew and subsequently turned into a network that connects tens of thousands of sites around the world, from mainframes to PCs.
