Internet vs. World Wide Web

-

The internet is composed of electronic devices that can connect to the internet in order to surf the web (https://edu.gcfglobal.org/en/internetbasics/what-is-the-internet/1/). In other words the internet is the connection one makes to a network in order to have service to be able to get access to all the information provided by websites. Robert Khan and Vinton Cerf created a model that allowed data to be transmitted between multiple networks in 1970 (https://www.history.com/news/who-invented-the- internet). It was created to have founded an easier way for the transmission between computers than the early inventions which weren’t the best. Back in the 80s the internet was a means to send files and data between computers mostly seen being done by scientists (https://www.history.com/topics/inventions /invention-of-the-internet). Today people use the internet for a lot of different ways. One of the most popular uses of the internet is social media apps like snapchat or ride share apps such as uber. Another top use is email whether it be personal usage or for work, it is a means of communication for people all across the world. It allows a direct conversation within seconds to people near or far and everything in between with the click of a button. The internet has easily become an essential to daily life in this society. 

 

The world wide web most commonly seen as www. is the collection of websites one can access when connected to the internet. A website is composed of related topics and supporting graphics that often have multiple pages of resources (https://edu.gcfglobal.org/en/internetbasics/what-is-the-internet/1/). The world wide web took its form in 1990 by Tim Berners-Lee (https://www.history.com/news/who- invented-the-internet). This creation helped to bring awareness and popularity to the internet creating what we now have and use everyday today. In the early stages the web was founded to be a good use for commercial uses, companies now had their own websites and websites were made to sell goods to customers (https://www.history.com/topics/inventions/invention-of-the-internet). Today the web is used a lot for social media purposes like websites such as facebook or instagram, where people can stay connected.


The internet and the world wide web are different from each other but work together to achieve a similar goal. They are different in just the concept of what each of them are. The internet being the connection or network one has on their computer, phone, etc. The web is the sites that one is able to surf on portals like safari or chrome these could include www.google.com or www.weather.com. The web is the information you are able to receive from the websites you can access because of the connection you get using the internet. These two work closely together and that is why they often assumed to be the same thing or mistaken for each other. The internet is the network connection on your computer to have service. The world wide web is all the websites one can access on the browser. They work together because in order to reach the websites on the web one will need to have an internet connection. 

The first website was created in 1991 by the creator of the world wide web Tim Berners-Lee (https://www. history.com/news/the-worlds-first-web-site). The website he created was essentially an explanation of what the web was and how to use it correctly (https://www.history.com/news/the- worlds-first-web-site). The website is still up! It’s http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/TheProject.html!

 For the upcoming Somewhere assignment we were instructed to view a couple things for inspiration.  After viewing https://www.instagram.com/kirbyjenner/?hl=en I was asked to chose one image that would be hard to photoshop myself into. This is the image I chose: I believe that this photo would be hard to photoshop myself into because it is so intricate. If you look at the placement of Kirby in this picture he is in between two others, holding items and being leaned on my Kendall Jenner. With so much going on around him and being so involved in the photograph that would be a challenge to put myself into.  After viewing https://www.instagram.com/averagerob/ I was asked to find an image that inspired me or gave me an idea for the somewhere project. This is the image I chose: By Rob inputting himself into an image from the Simpsons gave me the idea to put myself into a TV show that I like. Taking a still image and inputting yourself into the scene of a show is a cool way to show you like it

FINAL PORTFOLIO

 HERE IS MY FINAL. I THOROUGHLY ENJOYED THIS COMPILATION OF ALL MY PROJECTS FROM THIS SEMESTER. This gave me the creativity to express myself in a way to showcase my work. I chose a light yellow background for the booklet keeping the consistent throughout, because this is my favorite color. I chose the pink and blue as accent colors because I feel as though they accent each other well. I added the colored swirls to each page to have a decorative piece and did the colored stroke outlining the text opposite color the swirls. I also tried alternating the sides the pictures where on each page to switch it up and not have each page looking exactly the same. I am happy with how this turned out and glad to have taken this class. This has brought out my creative side and I am grateful for that.

Tag Brush

 For this assignment we had to take our black and white logo we created, turn it into a tag brush, and then create an image out of the brush. Here is my black and white logo. Here is my tag brush. Here is the image I created using my tag brush. For the image I created using my tag brush I went off of my actual logo. My image using the green color with my tag I tried to create mountains like that were in my logo. The mountains in this image have the white caps like my logo that's why they aren't pointy. Then there are the blue tags which represent the clouds. Lastly the singular yellow tag is the sun. I think that the image I have created could have been better however I think it was a good use if my tag and has meaning connecting it to my logo. I did not like this assignment however because it was not very interesting.
