I.C.T Prep

During the last three lessons i have learnt many different things that the internet can be used for.
In lesson seven I learnt that some images had rights reserved and that you are not allowed to use them. To find images that you are allowed to use, you have to search in google for appropriately licensed images. This means that you are allowed to use that image as long as you state where you got it from and who took it.
Also in lesson seven i researched the years 1971- 1979 about technology and the internet. I learnt that in 1971 the first e-mail was used and sent. Also it was in that e-mail that the iconic @ sign was used and we still use it today. Also i learnt that in 1976 Queen Elizabeth acknowledged the ARPANET by sending an e-mail to the arpanet users advertising a new computer.  In 1977 the first PC modem was invented by Dennis Hayes. ARPANET was originally called ARPA, which was the Pentagon's advanced research agency. ARPA had the idea for a computer network for forty years. On the 29th October, two computers in LA connected using the ARPA net. These two computers were the first two hosts , there are now 700 million hosts.
In lesson eight i learnt many interesting things that the internet could be used for. Here are my favourites....
First of all was the subject i chose which was about this guy called Daniel Crooks who was advanced in technology and photography. What he did was combine these two skills to create art. He shot a person a lot of times in many frames to create a blurry image which looked like a distortion in time.
The other topic i found interesting was a website that could play many videos at the same time to make music. Each video was a person using their muscical talent at a slow relatively easy soft pace. But with around forty differerent videos, there were so many options to choose from that any selection you did choose would sound good in different harmonies.
All in all it is amazing what technology can be used for and it has an interesting history as to how it evolved into the amazing internet we use today.
