Jeff Bezos has played an important role in the development of Amazon.com, an online shop selling mainly books and music. He decided to set up Amazon.com when he saw the growing popularity of the Internet.

During the first few years, the company did not make a profit and Mr. Bezos thought that his efforts would end in failure. However, Internet connection became faster and a lot of improvements were made to home computers.
