Internet v.s. The Web

-

 The internet was invented by two men by the names of Robert E. Kahn and Vint Cerf on January 1, 1983. The internet is defined by Merriam-Webster as “a system that connects computer throughout the world. The original computer system was known as ARPANET (Advanced Research Projects Agency Network). This was done by a process called packet switching which allowed multiple computers to communicate on a single network. 

 

The web is defined by Merriam-Webster as “the part of the internet that can be looked at with a special program (called a browser)”.  The web was created by a British scientist by the name of Tim Berners-Lee. It was developed for the purpose of information sharing between scientists and various other institutions around the world. Today, the web is used for nearly anything you can think of including shopping, advertising, businesses, buy and selling stocks, socializing through social media platforms, and many others. 

 

The web and the internet are intertwined but are not the same at the end of the day. The internet is the overall computer system that connects many different things that can be done on the computer. The web however, is a specified browser that is used to search information and this is where all of our current day social media platforms and information is found. 

 

The first website was created on August 6, 1991 as web creator Tim Berners-Lee published his first ever website which was an overview of how to use the web. http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/TheProject.html

 For this project I was able to edit my original black and white log using the brush tool to create a logo tag. The blending of the colors and the ability to distort my original logo has definitely enhanced the project.

6 Pre Somewhere Assignment 1. So the second photo I really like because there are random celebrities photoshopped in the photo as well. Also The first photo would be difficult to photoshop myself into simply because the skin tones are so different that it would be very difficult to change it.  https://www.instagram.com/kirbyjenner/?hl=en 2. This image inspired me to post in a solid scene in a show because his entire outfit, demeanor, what he's doing, and the way he was sitting all match what would happen in this show. For my project I plan on matching the same demeanor that is going on in whichever photo I choose. https://www.instagram.com/averagerob/ 3. The only edit that I truly laughed at was surprisingly the last one because the unedited picture is funny itself because he does look uncomfortable and just awkward standing there. And as a result the edit with the towel over his face is funny because it almost embodies his facial expression.  https://www.boredpanda.com/funny-photo

 7 So I enjoyed this project because not only could I use one of my favorite television shows, but I was able to use pictures I took on halloween and utilize my halloween costume. Overall, adding my image to the actual image in place of the main character Thomas Shelby was quite difficult as I had trouble getting my body to look proportionate to the rest of the characters in the image. Then I had the difficulty of getting the brightness and contrast to match the rest of the image and overall feel of the picture. While the editing was somewhat tedious,  I believe it worked out in the end.
