Task 1
Who invented the internet?
The inventers of the internet were The Internet was originally developed by DARPA - the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency and it was made to share information on defense research between involved universities and defense research facilities and Leonard Kleinrock was the first person to write a paper on the idea of packet switching (which is essential for the Internet to work.) He wrote this idea in 1961 but no one person had invented the internet.
Information from http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Who_invented_the_Internet
Definitions Of...
www-> Stands for World Wide Web computer network consisting of a collection of internet sites that offer text and graphics and sound and animation resources through the hypertext transfer protocol.
blog-> An online Journal
internet-> a computer network consisting of a worldwide network of computer networks that use the TCP/IP network protocols to facilitate data transmission and exchange
website-> A computer connected to the internet that maintains a series of web pages on the World Wide Web
URL-> A Uniform Resource Locator (URL) is a subset of the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) that specifies where an identified resource is available and the mechanism for retrieving it.
modem-> A modem (modulator-demodulator) is a device that modulates an analog carrier signal to encode digital information, and also demodulates such a carrier signal to decode the transmitted information.
image-> An image (from Latin imago) is an artifact, for example a two-dimensional picture, that has a similar appearance to some subject--usually a physical object or a person
GIF-> The Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) is a bitmap image format that was introduced by CompuServe in 1987 and has since come into widespread usage on the World Wide Web due to its wide support and portability.
PDF-> Portable Document Format (PDF) is a file format created by Adobe Systems in 1993 for document exchange. PDF is used for representing two-dimensional documents in a manner independent of the application software, hardware, and operating system.Adobe Systems Incorporated.
embed-> embedded - enclosed firmly in a surrounding mass; "found pebbles embedded in the silt"; "stone containing many embedded fossils"; "peach and plum seeds embedded in a sweet edible pulp"
applications-> application or app, is computer software designed to help the user to perform a singular or multiple related specific tasks. Typical examples are word processors, spreadsheets, media players and database applications.
gadget-> A prebuilt piece of code that interacts with a third party website(s) to provide added functionality to a website. Sometimes referred to as a Widget.
cybersafety-> A set of regulations for users so they can surf the
internet safely.
HTML-> HTML, which stands for HyperText Markup Language, is the predominant markup language for web pages. It provides a means to create structured documents by denoting structural semantics for text such as headings, paragraphs, lists etc as well as for links, quotes, and other items
bitmap image-> Bit mapped images are composed of individual dots. This type of file is very good for photographs and complex drawings. The downside of using bitmap images, is that when you change the size of the image on the page, there is a loss of detail
vector image-> An image system that uses basic geometric shapes, like rectangles, lines, circles, ellipses and polygons, to create a graphic image. The vector image usually contains very little data, like the starting point (pixel) of the object, what kind of object it is, its size, and color.
flash-> The Adobe Flash Player is software for viewing animations and movies using computer programs such as a web browser. Flash player is a widely distributed proprietary multimedia and application player created by Macromedia and now developed and distributed by Adobe after its acquisition.
- Different types of websites are..
document - writing that provides information (especially information of an official nature)
document - anything serving as a representation of a person's thinking by means of symbolic marks
document - record in detail; "The parents documented every step of their child's development"

**12/10/2010's Work**
Today i finished the design of my blog. I'm happy with it and glad i could finish on time. My plan was to put applications/ Gadgets at the bottom of the page out of the way of the real work but still have them to attract attention i'm considering putting in another small gadget at the top to attract attention onto the page as soon as a viewer comes on gaining interest in the page imediately.
