The internet is network that connects computers all around the world. Through the internet you can share information from and to anywhere with an internet connection. The internet provides a capability to communicate with people all over the world via social media, email, etc. The people who invented the internet are Bob Khan and Vint Cerf. The internet was originally used as a government weapon more then 50 years ago in the Cold War, and also scientists and researchers used it in order to communicate with one another. Now it is obviously used for things such as social media/communication, quick and easy access to any information you may need, etc.

    The World Wide Web is an information system where different web resources are identified by Uniform Resource Locators. Simply it is the part of the internet that contains the websites and pages. The inventor of the World Wide Web is Tim Berners-Lee, it was invented in 1989 and it was made in order to meet the demand automated information sharing between scientists around the world. It was originally used for scientists to be able to share information around the world to one anther, but is now more so used for everyone in the world to be able to find information on anything they need.

    The internet and the World Wide Web are not the same thing, they are interconnected, but they are two different things. The World Wide web is the pages you see on your device when you're online, where as the internet is the network of connected computer. So the reason they are interconnected is because the World Wide Web only works on the internet. The first ever website was launched on August 6th, 1991 by the same guy who invented the World Wide Web, Tim Berners-Lee. This is supposedly the link to the first ever website "http://info.cern.ch".

Propoganda Poster

Image
       For my poster I decided to talk about a topic very close to me. I am from the Bahamas, and right now in the Bahamas the locals are fighting the government to stop them from allowing Americans to drill oil from our beautiful pristine ocean water we have, which brings in all of out tourism. While the drilling will bring in a lot of income for the Bahamas, it has some major down falls. If there is one little slip up, it will cause an oil spill in the Bahamas and kill all of our beautiful reefs and all of the species we have under water. So if this were to happen, we would not get any tourism anymore, seeing as our ocean is what brings in tourism, and tourism is our main source of income in the Bahamas. Also me being such an ocean lover, the thought of what could happen irritates me a lot. I did not use any inspiration from other posters, this idea popped into my head straight away, and I went with it, and I think it turned out amazing.     People should really agree with me because

Casper's Logo Project

Image
      My idea was to create a logo surrounding what I grew up doing and has been my whole life, diving and fishing. So with the help of my classes ideas, I came up with adding a fishing rod and spear in a cross with a mask over the top, to sort of ressemble a skull and cross bone. I had a lot of fun creating these logos and I really think the logo does resemble me as a person seeing as it has been my whole life.

  This is how all of my images turned out from the original photo, and I am very happy with the results. It took a lot of time, about 2 and a half hours, but it was a very relieving feeling to be done with it when I finished. I went with these choices of colors, because I feel like the fish in the photo that I am holding up, really pops out with either a bright background and a dark fish, or a bright fish, with a dark background. This is because it just really brings your eyes to the center of the photo where that color is so different compared to the others.
