- 9. 1996 – Dvds allow storage of larger amounts of digital data;which makes posiible superior sound and visual performance. 1997-2007 – The growth of the internet expands far faster than most predicted.It soon becomes the world’s largest database of information,graphics,and streaming video making it an invaluable resource for educators.
