Internet v WWW

Internet v. World Wide Web 

 

The internet was created by a large group of scientist in the early 1960s. J.C.R Licklider is credited with the idea of an “Intergalactic Network” of computers. This network was soon then catapulted into the internet we all know today. There was a lot of other scientists that made advancements in between Likelider and now, but he was one of the very firsts to come up with idea of communication between computers. Originally it was used for basic transferring of information, the internet does that now too, but it now is the infrastructure that holds up the World Wide Web. 

            The World Wide Web is the collection of global information that is accessed through the internet. Tim Berners- Lee invented the World Wide Web in 1989. In an effort to make sharing information from computer to computer more user friendly, he invented www. In the beginning it was used just to just that, but it quickly began to take off. Berners- Lee had created something that was completely free and anyone who had access to a computer could use. By giving up his control over the web, he is quoted to have said that is why it really grew so exponentially. 

            The internet and WWW are different, but they work together. I think of the internet as a grocery store, and the WWW as the groceries. The internet is the catalyst for the World Wide Web. They work side by side. The first website was created by Tim Berners- Lee, it is still up and the url is: http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/TheProject.html

final portfolio

  This is my final portfolio. I really like using indesign so I really enjoyed putting this together. Like I have said in other blog posts I like indesign so much because of how organized it is. Indesign just makes sense in my head. I really like how this project came out, I thought it was cool to see my progression through out the year. I also really like how the theme is cohesive throughout the whole project. For my color scheme I took colors from adobe.color.com they had so many to pick from. I went with a muted color pallet so my work could really shine through. I also really like the font I picked I think it is fun and pretty easy to read.

in design tutorials

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXRT3dHu6_o  in design for beginners  I have barely used indesign before so this was very helpful. This layout of this video is very nice and even though it was a lot of information I feel like it was easy to retain.  I have never really used indesign before so because of this I tried to follow along with the tutorial and try out all of the functions that were being shown I think this helped.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wg2FzMO-NrY  in design for the iPad pro  Like I have mentioned before, I really love to use my iPad pro for this class and other classes. Im not sure if it will be that useful for this section on indesign. I think it will be a lot better to stay on the computer for the next projects and this tutorial showed me that. You can definitely do some cool things with it on the iPad but I think I will mainly stay on the computer or desktop.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FclSU2_A_R4 keyboard shortcuts...
