HIST 390 Week of 9/21

This week I went to class with a clearer understanding of the direction we were going. I was eager to learn more about the foundation of the internet, and that is exactly what we discussed. We talked about Arpanet, the beginnings of the internet that was funded by the Department of Defense. We also discussed the development of the internet, and how it has become so easy to interface with. Things such as hypertext, hypercard, a graphic interface, and the mouse have made this possible. We also talked about the development of the world wide web by Berners-Lee. This is a subset of the internet and contained http (hyper text transfer protocol) and html (hyper text markup language).
