100 word reflection on the reading
First of all I want to thank him because if it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be doing this for a grade. He had many crazy ideas and he would imagine the impossible. One of his amazing ideas was if he could store all the information on all the computer and it wouldn't be hard to linked them. So he created a system to give every "page" on a computer a standard address (now it is called URL), HTTP, HTML, and visible with the first browser. So that made everyone get linked. As I continued to read the book, many scientist had the idea and they were the ones that came up with alot of stuff as well. What Tim had to do was to put the puzzle together and make it "fit in". The Internet is an important part to my everyday life. I have to check things and keep in touch with my friends and family. I as well use it for school and to apply to college. I once again what to thank him for putting the puzzle together.

I agree! i thank him to, but i also wonder what would life be like now if he had never got the tought to link the web pages together? but i loked this reflection!
ReplyDeleteAwesome blog tizzy I like all your ideas. I agree with your idea of what would we do if he did not create a link between everyone together and give us the opportunities to communicate and reasearch new things everyday
ReplyDeleteThat is very funny and true; we were able to do this class work for a grade only because Tim Berners-Lee was smart enough to come up with the amazing World Wide Web. This creation of his enables us to do a lot of things, which is why I understand why many people like you, would like to thank him.
ReplyDeletecheck out this piece on simultaneous inventionshttp://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2008/05/12/080512fa_fact_gladwell
ReplyDeletewould the web have been invented by someone else if Berners-lee had not done it? and what would the other web looked like
think about how eating is done by people: in Europe we use forks, spoons, in Asia its chopsticks - both tools do that same thing, but they look completely different.
