Wow! This was a pretty interesting article. I never knew what all those acronyms were
until I read this article. HTTP, HTML,
and URI (or now commonly know URL) are all intertwined within each other. It sounds sophisticated but in actuality it
makes simple sense. Also, I did not know
that CERN was at the center in the creation of the Web (I thought Al Gore
created it…just kidding). Because the
use of the World Wide Web is completely of the norm, I never really thought
about how the different systems works together to bring a pool of human
knowledge together. I found the
projection of the future of the Web extremely accurate to what we have
today. All of the points identified have
happened for the most part. After
reading this article, I have a much better understanding of what hypertext is,
and what was presented in previous reading of hypertexts in hyperspace.
Rob,
ReplyDeleteThis article also helped me decipher some of the acronym meanings that many of us computer users are commonly used to seeing. I also enjoyed the Al Gore joke. In my post, I wrote that I thought that many computer users overlook the history and the "behind the scenes" information about the internet. It was amusing that you wrote that you hadn't ever thought about it. I was also pretty amazed that most of the predictions from when the article was written have come to fruition. It shows that many of these authors/inventors were way ahead of their time. Nice post.
