Bryans Internet and WWW blog

       The internet is defined as "a global computer network providing a variety of information and communication facilities, consisting of interconnected networks using standardized communication protocols". Basically what that means is, it is a intertwined network providing about all or most of the information you could possible want. There is no sole inventor of the internet, it is more of a collaborative effort. There are two scientist credited with the invention of the internet but they really only invented two key components. The two men coined with these inventions are Vint Cerf and Bob Kahn. They invented what is known as Transmission control protocol or TCP and Internet protocol or IP in 1973. Internet protocol or IP is known more commonly as IP address. The reason the internet was created was because people had the common goal and desire to share and spread information quicker and more efficiently. The way we originally used the internet was as a government weapon in the cold war. We used the internet to try and formulate a chemical weapon we know today as the atomic bomb. It is vastly different how we use the internet today. We use the internet today as a tool to help enhance our experience in this world. It is not just used to create weapons and communicate war strategies. We use it much more as an everyday tool. 

       The world wide web is an "an information system on the internet which allows documents to be connected to other documents by hypertext links, enabling the user to search for information by moving from one document to another". The world wide web attaches documents from a website in order to create documents that are fluid and easy to navigate. Tim Berners-Lee created the world wide web in 1989. The world wide web or the www was originally created to "meet the demands for automated information-sharing between scientists in universities and institutes around the world". Since it is "world wide", information could be spread to different countries around the world in order to share and learn new information. The world wide web today allows people to share their work and thoughts through a variety of different ways, most commonly through social networking sites or websites. 

       The internet and the world wide web are not the same. However they do work together. It is possible to use the internet without using the world wide web but it is not possible to use the world wide web without the internet . One example of the internet being used without the world wide web is email, email does not require the world wide webs access and is often used through the internet. The internet and world wide web often get confused and are often mistaken for the same thing, however they are most definitely not the same. They both work in unison to make it easier to use both. For example you use the internet to go to a web browser where you use the world wide web to get to the website. We constantly use these two together but most people have no idea. The first ever website created was made on August sixth, 1991. It was created by Tim Berners-Lee and the website is still functional today.    The first ever website -    http://info.cern.ch.

Logo

Image
          The reason I decided to make this logo is because I am aspiring to become a doctor. It has been a life long dream of mine to help save lives. One of the best ways to do that is to become a doctor. It takes years of hard work, dedication, and drive to become a doctor. Its a grueling and painful process but in the end it will pay off. My mother is a doctor and has been a huge inspiration in why I would like to become one. We often follow in our parents footsteps and I am quite proud to follow in my mothers. My logo is an object often used in the medical field known as a stethoscope. It is what doctors use to hear the heartbeat of a patient. I blend in the initial of my first name in this logo to make it more personalized. All in all this logo means a lot to me and is something that I strive to become and something I am working to become.

Self Portrait Poster

Image
         On the left you can see the image that was used to be the nucleus of my poster. My posters slogan is "Color is all about perspective". This ties into my life because I am color blind. All my life I thought I saw the world how everyone else does, I had no idea I saw "differently" than most people. I started to notice I see things differently when I was in about 5th grade. People would call out colors they saw on the teachers screen and I just didn't see the same color. I found out that I was color blind when I did a color blind test with my family. We sat down and did it and I couldn't see the numbers (your supposed to be able to see a certain number to pass the color blind tests). My mother had told me that my Grandpa was color blind and it was a hereditary trait. My brother is also color blind. Color really is all about perspective. We all see different shades or even colors, our eyes all work differently. No ones eyes are the same and I think that

Somewhere

Image
          This is the finished product for my Somewhere project. Overall this was my favorite project of this class. The objective was to place ourselves in and environment next to a celebrity, athlete, or in a movie. This project too me about 6-8 hours to complete but I enjoyed doing it. Like I said this was my favorite project because I got to place myself doing a jersey swap with one of my favorite baseball player in Vladimir Guerrero Jr.  Some things  I  had trouble with were getting the netting to lineup so it  didn't  look off and the  background. All in all this was my favorite project.
