World Wide Web

WWW or Web is an easy-to-use, powerful, global system sharing information as a seamless hypertext space. Tim Berners-Lee credited with "inventing" WWW in 1989 in Switzerland by creating the first Browser, WWW server, URLs, HTTP and HTML.

The World Wide Web is an Internet-based hypertext system invented in the late 1980s and early 1990s by Tim Berners-Lee. Berners-Lee wrote the first web browser World Wide Web, later renamed Nexus, and released it for the NeXTstep platform in 1991.

By the end of 1992 other browsers had appeared, many of them based on the libWWW library. These included Unix browsers such as Line Mode Browser, Viola WWW, Erwise, and MidasWWW, and MacWWW/Samba for the Mac. Even though these browsers tended to be simple HTML viewers, relying on external helper applications to view multimedia content, they provided choice to users both in browsers and platforms.

The future of the internet and in fact all human communication forevermore

Many people think the best invention in the world is internet actually I am totally agree with it because the internet offer a lot of thing today such as shopping, searching, watching movie, drama, and news and the most important one "communicating" we even can have the face time which is you can see the people through the phone or computer. The internet influence is getting stronger an stronger in our daily life.  

I am a student who studying oversea at moment. I contact my family everyday by using the internet which is amazing. However, it still has some disadvantage such as we almost lost the way to communicate with each other by face to face. Today, many social website and apps has came out such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Line, We Chat, Kakao Talk, Whats App as well. We use it a lot in our daily life and we become lazy as well.

Our life quantity is much better than before because internet almost do everything for us. However, I think in the future we have to face some problem such as the invent of stagnation and next generation can't do any thing without the internet. The creators and inventors will have big challenge as well which are how could they develop the internet quantity in the world and what they have to do with the way of communication in the future.

The involvement of social media in current news events

The US Presidential election

The social media play the important in today's social media. The news through the social media to us especially now we trend to globalization. Nowadays, people use internet a lot such as Facebook, Twitter and Google etc. In a result in, many social media choose to use those thing to catch people's eyes. Undoubtedly, it is the smart way to sharing their news in today's society. For example, when you post some news on Facebook or Twitter, you can get the million 'like' or comment their opinion in very show time because they can see the news just by using their mobile phone which is easier and more convenient than watching news on TV.

During this election, many artist showing their opinion through the social media. It could also effect the election because artist has very big followers on social media which mean they can get more people be attention in the news.

Howard Rheingold’s The Virtual Community

Today I gonna talking about "virtual community' which is the new way to communicate with other people. Nowadays, people use a lot of technologies such as computer, mobile phone and a lot of apps. In the past, the only way we met people is face to face in some real place, but recently a lot of apps and website have been created especially social grouping website such as Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Line, We chat, Kakao talk and Whats app. Those websites and apps are all use for talking and meeting people. 

In the Introduction of the "The Virtual Community", the author tell us the biggest changing of today's society. In the one of these paragraph, he wrote one day he went to a place to meet people who he has ever seen in the real life. When he arrived he was amazing because he couldn't realized anyone who he has been talking online even has argument before.

In this years, we use a lot of technologies to do almost everything. For example, in the school teacher use computer to teach student, in the company they use laptop to meeting. We watch the news in the TV and the internet much more than newspaper. Maybe we haven't realize, but technologies has already permeated our life. 

Catfish

This is the trailer of Catfish:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BuE98oeL-e0

This movie is talking about how people using technologies to make friends in today's society. Nowadays, many people choose the way to make new friends by the computer app or mobile phone app instead of face to face. It is very convenient but it also has some danger.

One day Nev Schulman is a photographer who is the main character in this film received a painting from a 8 year-old girl Abby. They started to email each other and Abby told him she has a older sister name Megan so he add her sister's Facebook account and they has become friend. They talked with each other by computer and mobile phone for few month and they fell in love. One day, he received a song from Megan which she wrote for him, but Nev knew this song was copied from the internet so he start to search everything about Abby and Megan.

They found their address and decided to went to their house. When he arrived the house, there was nobody called Megan and Abby just a mother name Angela and her twins son and husband .She told them because her life was unhappy so she used the fake name to make new friends on the internet. she was really fell in love with Nev. Finally, they talked face to face and after that she deleted every fake account.

Those kind of things happen everyday in today's society. In this documentary, Angela used fake account, fake face and fake voice to talked to Nev because she didn't like herself. She exploit Nev to satisfied herself because she had to take care her twins son who are sick so she felt exhausted and unhappy.

I think it is a big problem in today's society because on the internet you can't see each others you don't even know if this person is real or not and some people have a lot account. It could be dangerous because you have no idea who are they. Many people think this movie isn't true, but i think it doesn't matter because you still can learn many things from it.

In this movie, it teaches us many thing such as even you hear the voice or see the picture before you see them face to face everything can be fake. And it could be totally different with what you think so we have to always be aware and be careful.

Ted Talks

Help for kids the education system ignores

https://www.ted.com/talks/victor_rios_help_for_kids_the_education_system_ignores

I chose this video because I think the teenagers problem is one of the big issue in every country. In this years, we can see many teenagers yelling, fighting on the street or breaking the public facilities. And they don't even respect their parents and teachers. Many people just think because they are bad and incorrigible, but I think they just want to make people to care them and listen to them because some of their parents work everyday and some teachers just care the students who are good at studying. I think it is the main reason why teenagers always don't want to go home and go to school because they think nobody could understand them.

In my opinion, I think is time to change the way to teach in the school. Studying is not only way to be a good person, some people good at sport, some people good at music. Parents and teachers should try to understand  students and listen to them not just make them do what you want and ignore their thinking.

Alan Mathison

Hello everyone! My name is Alan Mathison Turing from England. I am a computer scientist, mathematician, logician, cryptanalyst and theoretical biologist. I know it looks like impossible, but you know everything is possible in this amazing world!

During the Second World War, I worked for the Government Code and Cypher School (GC&CS) at Bletchley Park , Britain's codebreaking centre when I was 28. For a time I led Hut 8, the section responsible for German naval cryptanalysis. I devised a number of techniques for speeding the breaking of German ciphers, including improvements to the pre-war Polish bomb method, an electromechanical machine that could find settings for the Enigma machine. I played a pivotal role in cracking intercepted coded messages that enabled the Allies to defeat the Nazis in many crucial engagements, including the Battle of the Atlantic; it has been estimated that this work shortened the war in Europe by more than two years and saved over fourteen million lives.

                             This is what I did!

And this is my friend The Right Honourable Sir Winston Churchill. He was the Prime Minister in England. we met him because of the Second World War.

Stephen Hawking, he is an English theoretical physicist, cosmologist, author and Director of Research at the Centre for Theoretical Cosmology within the University of Cambridge. we has become friend because we are both interesting in Math.
