Dot.com to Dot.bomb

 During the presentation for Dot.com to Dot.bomb, the main premise of it was to represent how all of these different websites and companies ruled in the wild west of the internet, or better yet the the age of the dinosaurs. The use of dinosaurs before lecture did not make sense at first, but as time went on through out the lecture, everything started to all come together. The dinosaurs represented the companies that existed way back when the internet didn't grow fully yet. ranging from AOL to Yahoo, they were the main things that ran on the web. However as time past, even more companies started to grow and created a more denser competition. From an inability to adapt to the present to pure greed, one by one each company that represented a dinosaur collapsed and eventually the huge boom of the internet would be the equivalent to the asteroid that wiped out all of the dinosaurs that roamed the internet. The only website/company that caught my eye was Yahoo. Back in 2008, before googl

Creating an HTML Page (#2)

       Although with some experience in coding, I thought creating an HTML page would be a little daunting as I have never done it before. The extent to how I know what HTML was is during class and YouTube video tutorials on how to create a website. Looking at the developer tools in chrome by hitting F12 also added to the little amount of knowledge I know about HTML as well. Other than that, there was not much I knew about it. However, actually going through with the process in making a HTML page was not as difficult as I thought it would potentially be. For starters, to create a simple piece of code using HTML, I was able to use a notepad compared to something such as a programming language like Java, Python, JavaScript or C++ for example in order to get the code working. Compared to some classes I took for coding, watching a video tutorial on how to create a HTML page was relatively easy to follow. You would something similar to an essay, such as a Title, creating body paragraphs, an

What Can Be Learned Throughout The Virtual World

 I would love to learn more about how much certain niches such as social media, pornography, and/or entertainment as a whole have affected the connections between individuals and to show the positive and negative effects technology have given us as a whole. There is always two sides to an argument, for example some would say that technology has brought us even closer than before in that we can send texts to people around the globe. It was unthinkable at the time that someone could do such a thing! Now, everyone does it on a daily basis (if they actually have someone to talk to). Others would say that technology has actually caused us to be more divided and that we are more lonely than ever. Perhaps some psychological effects are starting to come up due to the exponential increase of technology during the COVID-19 lockdown in 2020. Another topic I would like to learn more about is the artistic side of technology. Gaming for example, can be considered as entertainment alone, but there is
