Ethernet was created at Xerox Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) for use with early personal computers such as Altos. These computers predate IBM PCs by many years. However they were expensive and their use was mostly confined to research laboratories. Ethernet was formally standardized around 1980 by Xerox, Intel, and Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC), and soon afterward Digital started supporting ethernet in the computers they manufactured (such as VAXes and DECsystem 20s). Personal workstations like those made by Sun Microsystems also started to appear at about this time, and most of them also supported Ethernet.
Due to memory limitations and the lack of operating system support, ethernet did not really become practical for IBM-style PCs until the early 1990s.

What device and cost to connect 4 PC to a cable modem?
You can buy a router and 4 ethernet cables if the PCs do not have WiFi or a WiFi router and however many ethernet cables that you need would be a better solution and would also give you a WiFi capability for other devices. Routers can cost from a wide range and are often sold at below retail prices and the same for ethernet cables. While you could spend over $200 it is possible to be under $50 depending on the type of router and the brand and length of the ethernet cables

Why crossover configuration of unshielded twisted-pair UTP for Ethernet cable is needed in connecting 2 PCs through Ethernet interface?
It is needed because you need to reverse the signals of a transmit line to a receive signal line. This is what network connectivity devices do, such as hubs, switches, etc. If you aren't using a connection device then the cable has to do that job.
