1.2 and what is the world wide web

Activity 1:
HTML is used in computer coding when you are designing a web site and you want to create different looks, fonts etc on the page in the form of texts and spaces and locating certain tabs on the website.  It depicts how the page will look.

HTML - this was practiced in bold - by adding <strong>,  and capital letters..  'Hello world'

as we may think - the atlantic  read that got some from it.  but it was a bit complex initially so read it a few times..

Tim Berners-Lee developed HTTP - hyper-text transfer protocol, which would communicate through a web server, each page could have a unique look through the text being variable through the hyper text markup language and then the final piece through a web browser call the world wide web.  The goal was to allow everybody to not only talk to every body but be able to contribute content so that all the valuable information around the world could be stored on line and through software development and first taxonomies and then folksonomies were could find it all.. Tagging is the key to give an indexing of how to find the information when we need it. 
URL's Uniform Resource Locators is what web addresses were being familiarly referred to and Berners-Lee designed these so it was easy to remember the places that information was stored on the web.  URL's are more than web addresses, they are emails, ftp://fttp, usenet: news//user:password etc.
Domain Names are given to certain IP addresses so that data packages can be routed efficiently.

Activity 2;
going way back..  went through the history to see how Curtin University had developed over time, as well as;
Curtin - Jan 1997, very basic and web science 101 was what this unit was called, January 1999 this version hurts my eyes, January 2002 this is a lot easier on the eyes but not my favourite yet, January 2005 is my favourite front page of Curtin.
Apple - October 1996 - there are some new websites today that still look like this and I don't rate it.
Google - November 1998, back when it was a prototype. - this didn't stay like this for long they went to the centre page look quite quickly and have just been refining.  The blue marks on the calender went banana's within 18months.
Wikepedia - July 2001, back when they had over 6000 articles, very simple but still with that amount of data that was a very simple format.
Dominos.com - February 1997, find out where the 1000th store was. Perth, WA.

This was a great example of showing that what we do online stays online.

The internet is a combination of hardware and software.. 
HTML and Hypertext was pioneered by Ted Nelson in the 60's but refined by Berners-Lee..
