In Lithuania, though a little bit slowly, new technologies appear. And not only those, which help to fulfill unlimited human opportunities, but which give an opportunity to spend leisure somehow differently, too. The first Internet café in the world was established in London in 1994. In a very short time the Internet café became very popular in the other European cities, mostly in the capitals.

In spring the company established small café in its trade department. (Vilnius, A. Stulginskio g.5) When the summer came it became actual to establish the café at the seaside .For this purpose Nida was chosen — the most popular health resort of Lithuania.
