History of Internet, World Wide Web, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth

    The Internet is the worldwide system of networks that can interact from all sorts of devices and platforms across cyberspace. The Internet was created by multiple individuals but Bob Kahn and Vint Cerf are credited for setting the protocols of how data moves through a network and being the first to use the word “Internet”. The Internet was created in the 1950s. The early stages of the Internet were created at the request of President Eisenhower to help American Military stay ahead of enemies with technology. Today the Internet is used for almost anything, education, communication, shopping, and more.


    The World Wide Web is a way of accessing information through the medium of the Internet. Tim Berners-Lee proposed the idea of a web of information in 1989 and worked from there to create the World Wide Web. The World Wide Web was intended for communication and the sharing of information. Today the World Wide Web is used to access a variety of information across multiple platforms. 


    The Internet and World Wide Web are different work together. The World Wide Web is an application of the Internet. The Internet is the backbone of the Web and the reason the Web is possible. The connection of the Internet network and the communication are the support system and platform in which the World Wide Web exists.


    The first website was info.cern.ch. The website was created by Tim Berners-Lee. The creation of this website was dedicated to the World Wide Web project. The website was launched August 6,1991. 


    Hedy Lamarr is considered “the mother of Wi-Fi” after being inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame for the development of her frequency hopping technology. Lamarr was not the inventor of Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, but her work with frequency hopping technology and spread spectrum technology were helpful in the future creation of both technologies. 


    Bluetooth technologies were invented by Jaap Haartsen in 1994. The invention of Bluetooth was to enable a wide variety of devices to work together. Bluetooth was named by Sven Mattison and Jim Kardach, after the king of Denmark, Harald “Bluetooth” Gormsson. The symbol for Bluetooth is a combination of the Nordic runes for the letters H and B.


    Wi-Fi was invented by Dr. John O’Sullivan. The team of Dr.O’Sullivan worked to develop Wi-Fi, originally known as WLAN. The wireless networking technology was originally named WLAN which was an abbreviation of wireless local area network.

Photography

Image
The embedding of photography into the U.S. Military was very moving because it gives such an in depth, up close look at what goes on to those who don't witness it first hand. The way that the photo is shown in black and white, simplifies it so the viewer isn't looking at color its more of a view of the action occurring. Seeing the grain captures the effect of the act, fighting is dirty it shouldn't be a clean and clear image its a messy action and is beautifully depicted. The way that Platon is able to photograph actions and individuals in a way that captures their essence using different focuses and perspectives is noticeable in his images. Within different scenarios Platon impressively connects and displays each in a way conducive to that individual subject or individual to tell a story to the viewer. this is an image of me interacting with my cat, it may not be observable but we have an extremely close connection and always have. I chose Furnando as a perfect subject to ...

Furnando: In Color

Image
In order to complete a recent assignment, recoloring an image where you connect to another or the world around you, I used an image of my cat and I. Immediately he was in my mind to use to exemplify a connection to anyone in the world. Throughout the creation of the artwork I was unsure of the color and the proper placement for the colors. I eventually decided on the ones chosen based on the different color combinations in the color wheel of triad, square, and analogous. Each color combination ended up including relatively similar shades, as I followed my favorite colors. When coloring the different sections of the image I intended to keep similar shades away from themselves to maximize contrast throughout. Choosing cooler, bright colors properly exemplifies the spirits of my little angel Furnando and I thought it worked well together. The light and bright shades helped to lighten the spirits of a picture in a not so light time of our lives.

Introduction

     Hello, my name is Jane Scialdone but my friends call me Janie. I am from Rochester, New York and moved to Tampa this January. Previously, I attended University at Buffalo before transferring to The University of Tampa. I spend a great deal of time with friends, outside, and mostly at the gym. When being outdoors isn't an option I love writing, cooking, and baking. Overall I pretty much enjoy doing anything with friends or family. Lastly my favorite sport is hockey and while my favorite team is the Islanders, I go to plenty of Lightning games.      I know that I definitely have had accomplishments and failures but they aren't coming to mind at the moment. In highschool my cheerleading team won nationals two years in a row and to my memory we were undefeated, aside from that I can't say I've had too many accomplishments since then. One of my failures may be that I like to stay where I’m comfortable rather than take risks that could become accomplishment...
