Internet/ World Wide Web

-

 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. Ironically enough, the website is about how to navigate around the web. Ever since then the web has evolved dramatically.


Below is the link to the first ever website:

Protect Black Women Poster

-
Image
I have created a self portrait of me, while making a poster in the process. This poster reads “Protect Black Women” because we are not protected enough. Black women are the most disrespected people on the planet. Most people could care less about black women and we are often looked over. In healthcare, a Black woman is way more likely to die from ignored problems than any other woman. I chose to erase my mouth in the poster to show that Black women are often silenced. I think the font was a good choice to show how bold the statement should be. This poster brings awareness to how Black women need to be protected and listened to, because we are dying with no way to be heard.

  In this project, it represents how I feel about myself. Throughout my life, I have tried to look like other people in order to be accepted in society. I never accepted my curly hair. As you can see, these flowers represent my curly hair, symbolizing the beauty it holds. I've recently come to realize that my curly afro is beautiful just the way it is. The flowers represent me as a person, because they bloom. I am beautiful no matter how my hair is and I've learned to live by that. The plants overall adds an earthy feeling to this piece. I also added a tiara because I believe that I am worthy of any and everything. I've grown to know my worth.

My Personal Logo

       Above I have placed my final logo in different colors. The second picture are the logos that I drew on paper to have ideas in the beginning. Originally, I made the boombox as my logo with footprints to show that I am a dancer. The end result was overall a mess, with too much going on, so I switched it to my final one.     This logo means a lot to me because many people may not know this but it is the chemical compound for serotonin. My main objective in life is to be happy, whether it is dance, giving back, or creating a life for myself. The color purple in the first logo means royalty and I would like to think highly of myself. The second logo contains a sunflower, which is often associated with happiness. Lastly, the third logo looks very elegant and blue associates itself with peace. In order to be happy, you have to have peace.
