So... Who Invented the Internet and the Web?

Everyone loves the internet. It's a tool that is used daily in one way or another to gather and or share information. A common misconception is that the internet and the web are the same thing.

 The best way to describe the internet is to think of it as a network of multiple different networks combined. When computers are connected to the internet it allows people from all over the world are able to communicate through the internet. Vint Cerf and Robert E. Kahn are the two names that are thought of when someone is asked who was responsible for creating the internet.

The difference between the internet and the web is that the web is made up of all the information and resources that users need. Websites or webpages are what make up the web and they make a way for information to be located. Sir Tim Berners and Robert Cailliau are the creators of the world wide web. They created the invention in 1990 and in 1989 they began planning for the creation of the hypertext systems that we commonly use today.

New Digital Adventure

Hello! My name is Ayana and I'm an Advertising and Public Relations Major. My hometown is Columbia, MD and I moved to Tampa to have a change of scenery along with new experiences.

In the world we currently live in, media plays a huge role and it influences the way society behaves. Being able to be in a course that teaches me how to create digital media projects will open up a world of opportunity for me and my career. When I was introduced to the field of advertising, I felt like I finally found a career path that allows me to have many job options and creative freedom. I have to admit that I am nervous about diving into this course because of the amount of information I will have to learn in only a few months. At the same time, I am learning that challenges me to push myself further than my comfort level.

In this course I expect to learn how to properly use technology and programs that I will need in order to create creative projects. Recently, I purchased a camera and I plan on learning how to portraits and capture exciting moments so the photoshop application we will be learning how to use will be very beneficial.
