Journal #1: Summary of Part I – Getting Started from Learning Web Design (Book)
Robbins, J. N. (2012). Learning web design: A beginner's guide to HTML, CSS, Javascript, and web graphics. Sebastopol, CA: O'Reilly.
Summary: In the first three chapters of this book there were many topics that were mentioned. It started by trying to give a good way to begin on how to design a web page. Then in chapter two, titled “How the Web Works” it starts with a short section that gives some information on the differences between the web and the Internet. The Internet is a network of connected computers as stated in the book. The Internet is not owned by any one individual but is designed for sharing information using different methods. The web also know as the World Wide Web (www) is just one of the methods that can be used to share information through the Internet. The way the information is shared is through a server, which is not the actual computer. The server is actually software that is used to send and receive information through the Internet.
Question 1: Is the World Wide Web the only way that information can be shared through the Internet?
The World Wide Web is not the only way to share information through the Internet. There is email, instant messaging, and many other ways to share and receive information through the Internet. I have only named a few but as times continues there will be more ways to share information.
Question 2: What is one new method that computer networks are able to share information through the Internet?
One new forum that is being used to share information through the Internet is Google’s Drive. Google’s Drive allows people to upload files of almost any type and allow them the convenience to access the files on any device that can decode the file. Through Google’s Drive people are also allowed to share documents with anyone else that has a Google account.
I like your questions because they shed light on my own questions as well! I really think that technology is a growing factor on how we view the "web" or the "internet"
ReplyDeleteCheers!
It is great that you answered how information can be shared, because many people think it is only the internet. However, just like you stated there are many other ways, such as email and instant messaging. I also believe that text messages and social media sites are way to gain information!
ReplyDeleteThe rate at which technology is growing their are becoming more ways to share information between people. We live in a society where people want easy access to information. Teachers and students are subscribing to multiple sources to gain access to the information that they want on a daily basis. It is an important thing to learn how to access that information and and learn new ways to share it with others.
ReplyDeleteGoogle Drive is a fabulous tool! Google is constantly at the forefront of technology and internet accessibility.
