Internet, Wi-fi and Bluetooth

 Internet, Wifi, and Bluetooth



The Internet is considered a wire and a global network of computers that provide information and communication facilities. The internet was invented on Jan 1, 1983, by Nikola Tesla who thought of the idea of a “world wireless system.” Many scientists and engineers worked on creating the internet as well even before technology was invented, and that’s why the invention cannot be credited to just one person. Initially, it was created for government researchers to share information, but nowadays people use it to create blog websites and platforms.



World Wide Web (www) is a short collection of web pages on the internet. Tim Berners-Lee invented it in 1989 to find a method for scientists to share data from their experiments. In the past, the first websites contained simple pages that have only words and pictures, but nowadays it’s made up of videos, animations, music, and quizzes. You can now access it through smartphones, smart TV, tablets, and smartwatches.


Both internet and World Wide Web are not the same things. As mentioned before, the world wide web is a short collection of web pages found on the internet. This means that they both operate together. The world wide web needs the internet in order to do its job. Think of like the internet as a road or a pathway and the world wide web as the cars or the transportation on the road.


The first website ever was launched on August 6, 1991. Tim Berners-Lee created it. Surprisingly, the website is still up there. It mainly contains information about the World Wide Web project. Click on Http://info.cern.ch to view the first website ever.


Even though she was a famous Hollywood actress, Hedy Lamarr was also passionate about technology. She formed the basis of Wi-fi and Bluetooth. Surprisingly, there’s even a song about her called,” This song is for Miss Hedy Lamarr” by Jeff Beck and Johnny Depp.


Ericsson developed Bluetooth in the 1900s. It was named after king Harad “Bluetooth” Gormosson in the 10th century. The Bluetooth logo was inspired by the King’s initials which are ᚼ and ᛒ.


John O’Suvillian was recredited as the leader of team inventors who developed wifi. IEEE 802 was the original name, but the industry wanted a more user-friendly name so they changed it to Wifi. It was first created and released for consumers in 1997.

 Original Image: TV SHOW: Final Image: Artistic Statement: This was the most fun project I have done so far. It only took me an hour and thirty minutes. I picked stranger things because it is my favorite show. I loved this scene because this is the part where Eleven gets all her power back. I basically selected ' Select Mask' then I used the quick selection tool to highlight my figure as the part I want to keep. Then, I clicked on the brush with the minus sign so I can remove the background and any unwanted parts. Then, I went to adjust the brightness and contrast to make my picture's light and shade as close as possible to the movie picture. I also flipped the picture as the sunlight was coming from the left side. Finally, I posed this picture as if I were observing and looking around in the desert just like Eleven is doing here.

Animation

 Project: I had to redo this project because the first one did not work out. I was kind of nervous about this project, but when I watched some parts of the tutorial videos and just went ahead and gave it a try, I found it to be easy. I was trying to make that animation kind of related to my country, Egypt. In the beginning, I was trying to put and animate the pyramids instead of the camel but it was difficult because the pyramids are next to each other in almost all pictures. It would have been easier and better if each one was separated or far away, but I still decided to stick to something related to Egypt, so I picked this cute animated camel and some random desert landscape. You can also see my tag brush at the top.

  Artistic Statement Even though this was the longest project I have ever done the entire semester, I really enjoyed it. I mainly focused on three colors: yellow, blue and pink. Yellow is for the Adobe Illustrator, blue is for Adobe Photoshop and pink is for Adobe InDesign. I used some different shades in different pages to make it look more colorful and creative.  While I struggled a lot throughout the semester because I have never used any of those software before or had any knowledge in art and design, this class helped me with all of these. I believe I have strong foundation in all of those software, and I got better with design than I used to a long time ago. I will gladly maintain all what I learned and learn even more in the future. Not only because I enjoyed the process of learning new things but I also because I believe it is beneficial to know those graphic designs and software skills. Finally, it's because I liked and I got more interested in it..
