  The Internet, also known as the interconnected network, has connected millions across the world. The Internet is a global network of computers connected to each other which communicate through a standardized set of protocols (Bolkachov). Robert Elliot Kahn and Vinton Gray Cerf discovered the Internet in the 1960s. It was originally used for the government, but now we can use the internet to access sources and connect with other people. The World Wide Web differs from the Internet because it is simply the information you connect from the Internet. Tim Berners-Lee, computer scientist, made the Web in 1989 to fulfill the wishes of scientists and institutions in order to access information easier. Today we use it to interact with other people. The Internet and the World Wide Web are like father and son, you cannot have a son without a father. We have to connect to the Internet, the father, to access the World Wide Web, the son.  Berners-Lee created the first website at CERN in 1991. Iron

    I have always been interested in studying the media, as well as film. As a student majoring in communications, I'd take any chance to learn more about this field. I am also planning on minoring in film and media arts. I love to dance, model, and sing on the side. Caring for animals have been a passion of mine as well. Who knows, maybe I can work for Animal Planet in the near future.    Coming into this class, I had no idea what kind of assignments we would be working on. I feel extremely confident in this class and my professor seems very open-minded. Once Dr. Roundtree explained everything that will happen in this class, I became very interested. I believe I can expand my knowledge in digital media, and use the same skills learned once I graduate.
