This past week in class, we have discussed various topics that help us understand the Internet and World Wide Web as well as different Tools and Terminology. Your assignment is to review your notes and handouts and decide on a topic of discussion. Add your thoughts as a comment string to this post. Choose an idea or concept that was new to you or that you found interesting or informative. Let’s keep the discussion going to help reinforce what we’ve learned and open up new ideas! You can also check out the following link for more information about how Analog and Digital work, and more on file types and how they are used.

I learned how everything is searchable and that the internet has infant amount of space so no matter what we will have room for the internet. I also learned that the internet is non linear so its audience control, which is What information, how we get it and where we get it (:

This past week while we were talking, anolog and digital information really stood out. It makes alot more sence now. Anolog is very slow because the file size is really big, and there is alot od distance. Digital is very fast becuase the file size is slow, and the space is closed.

2. Small JPG =?
Answer: Several Kilobytes.
Something new that I learned from the Lecture is ARPANET. It is TCP/IP. Also I learned about Nonlinearity which is Hyperlink( goes to to different site), Anchors(Goes to the top of the page), Story Structure(Floor Plan, Budget, Timeline, Interviews, slides).
1. What is the difference between Internet and WWW?
Answer: WWW is the Image, media, color and Internet is the connectivity, cable, wire, the physical connection.

This past week in class we had the opportunity to learn about the internet and how it is so easy for users to get information as easy as 123. One thing we learned was Audience Control . Audience Control allows the audience / user to have greater control over information such as What they want to see how and where . Its no longer old media listeners viewers readers but USERS you control the internet now not it controls you !

We learned about the difference between the Internet and the web. The internet is the physical connection between the computers and the web servers.

Tied into that is the LAN (local area network) and the ISP (internet service provider) which are the stages that the web data is transferred from one computer to another.
1. What are some advantages to the Internet?
A: Unlimited space, user defined, instant.
2. What are the three types of search engines?
A: Crawler-based, Human-based, Hybrid-based.
3. How many bits are in a byte?
A: 8 bits
I learned that Arpanet was the first internet that was used for the government. They split it up around the United States and came up with a protocol TCP/IP language they came up with to communicate. Also came up with packets which are still used today.
1. What is HTML? Language of the internet
2. What is Analog? Nice smooth airwave has to be captured or caught with microphone to store as analog.
3. What all includes in graphics? text effects, photographs, illustrations, artwork and other visual elements.
I learned about the two types of Syndication: Push and Pull. Push is server to client, such as when you subscribe to get emails or texts. Pull is client to server, such as google or other search engines.

2. What are examples of push?
3. What are examples of pull?
