Internet/World Wide Web

 Internet and World Wide Web

    We as a society have grown to rely and depend on technology to a great extent, but where did these come from? Are Internet and the World Wide Web different or the same thing? In the late 1960's, the first working prototype or form of working internet was created. The original purpose of the creation of the internet was for the purpose of being able to allow multiple computers to communicate under a single network. 

    This was started by the Advanced Research Projects Agency Network, funded by the U.S. military, but was later adopted by Robert Kahn and Vinton Cerf. These computer scientists created the first rue working form of the internet. Of course, the internet has changed drastically from then and now along with technology, but this was a start. 

    So what is the internet? The internet is a network that allows other computers to communicate and share data. The way we use the internet today is vast in so many ways. Having the ability to send data all over the world in the means of communicating with others, learning through online course online, and digital transactions are just a few examples of how the internet impacts our lives today. 

    The World Wide Web and the Internet are both confused for being the same thing. In 1990, Tim Berners-Lee created the World Wide Web. Along with this creation, he also created the first website in 1989. The World Wide Web is not the internet by means of a network, but instead in the means of using the network to access websites and hyperlinks. These websites and hyperlinks allow information to be put into a spot for users to access information and data. The World Wide Web is used today in the form of googling information, accessing websites for businesses, and many others ways that make our lives more convenient. 

    Therefore, the internet and world wide web both make our lives easier depending on how we use it, but they are not the same thing. In fact, yes they work together in the means of using the internet to access the World Wide Web, but they are separate from each other.

Canvas Project With Code + Statement

  Canvas Project: Odd World     This specific piece of art was created using dreamweaver. While brainstorming for what I wanted to create, I got lost and realized I had no idea what to go for. As I continued to battle with what would be original or not, my idea hit me. This semester, I have found myself lost in different thoughts and more distracted compared to usual, so I went with the idea of, "Odd World." The concept of this piece being that the house on the right has a black doorway leading to reality, while the red rectangles are other doors leading you off of your path or falling into different thoughts.      From the building on the left with the main door, to the suns on the right, I found this project both long but also entertaining. The longer I worked I felt as if my piece was starting to look like it was something out of star wars. I did not use this picture as inspiration, but as I worked I thought of this and decided to add this to my post. What makes this proje

Intro Blog Post- Jude Wilferth

    WELCOME TO MY BLOG FOR FMX 210-1 I am Jude Wilferth, I am a sophomore at University of Tampa, and I am currently enrolled in FMX 210-1. I am a psychology major from Chattanooga Tennessee, and I do not have a ton of experience with computer art and technology, therefore I am looking forward to learning and seeing what I can take way from this course. I am on the club basketball team, love music, speak German, and I enjoy watching sports with friends.  From this class I expect to learn how to use computer software for the purpose of art, but also learn more about computer software. I am aware after the first meeting in class that most of the information will be art based, but I know I can learn a great deal and may use this information in the future. I know I will make friends from class, make connections, and possibly see a change in my future based on what I take away from the class. I am a hard worker and I know I do not have prior knowledge of the software required for class, but
