WWW : KEY POINT
ㅡ People make media and then media make people → Winston Churchill about architecture.






URL
URI (Universal Resource Identifiers)
URM







☺ What is the stated motivation of the research?
“The WWW was developed to be a pool of human knowledge, which would allow collaborators in remote sites to share their ideas and all aspects of a common project.”


☻ Question. What is the www?
(Answer) 1. A collaboratively authored hypertext.
(Answer) 2. It is a standard


☻ Organizations and Standards
the practical politics of classifying and standardizing :
1. arriving at categories and standards,
2. deciding what will be visible/invisible within the system


Cf.
ISO : International Standards Organization
ISO is a network of national standards institutes from 145 countries working in partnership with international organizations, governments, industry, business and consumer representatives. It acts as a bridge between public and private sector. It has created over 12,000 standards.

IETF : Internet Engineering Task Force
The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) is a large open international community of network designers, operators, vendors, and researchers concerned with the evolution of the Internet architecture and the smooth operation of the Internet. It is open to any interested individual.

RFC : Request For Comments
W3C : World Wide Web Consortium.
Develops Web standard & Guidelines

URI : Universal Resource Identifier)
URI (SSU NAME)
URN (persistent location : declare)

Protocol : http, ftp, mailto
Scheme : path (server / directory / file after : )
Urn : in a specific name, a specific resource


Html : HyperText Markup Language
html is derived from sgml (standard generalize markup language)

Http : HyperText Transfer Protocol
http is an internet protocol designed for transferring information for hypertext documents.

☻ What is a network protocol? a set of rules used when computers send information across the network


Compare – ftp
smtp
nntp
etc.



☻ Question. What is the www?
Answer 3. The www is a vast, heterogeneous network of people and machines.

My Opinion J

This week,
We talk about ‘www’ (WWW : World Wide Web). I think it is very interesting topic.
But I don’t concentration, Sorry. (Because I had caught a cold. I’m so sick. i_i)

WWW is very big and fast.
That Space ( : www) (?) is very fantastic.

And We saw API.
That flash file is Information Visualization. That information is Web site Naver‘s ‘인기검색어’.
I’m very surprise at flash. It is so interesting.
I want to make that file.


I think, it (ISO, IETF, RFC, W3C) is difficult word.
So I searched internet. And I attached that information.

April 11th is Mid exam.
So I will read the book – Understanding Media. (Welcome to the present… etc.)

Today's Focus
- What are digital media?
> Value? Communication?



● A key points
- When a medium is new, it is often used to simulate old media.
- New media do not replace old media, they (new media) displace them (old media).


☻both of these points are paraphrases of ideas from Marshall Mcluhan's book
.


Hyper text : One way that digital media has been understood is an new forms of writing, reading & thinking.

- engel bart's motivation
　"Man's population and gross product are incresing at a considerable rate, but the complexity of his problems grows still faster, and the urgency with which solutions must be found becomessteadily greater in response to the increased rate of activity and the increasingly global nature of that activity. Augmenting man's intellect, in the sense defined above, would warrant full pursuit by and enlightened society if there could be shown a reasonable approach and some plausible benefits."
- engel bart : stated problem
　"Augmenting human intellect"
　= better & faster comprehension + better & faster & more solutions to problems
　“By 'augmenting human intellect' we mean increasing the capability of a man to approach a complex problem situation, to gain comprehension to suit his particular needs, and to derive solutions to problems."

My Opinion

This week, (2008.3.21, Friday / Wednesday no class)
We talked about 'hyper text' & Engel bart.
But I am concerned about 'dada poem'. It is very interesting and wonderful.
I want challenge dada poem, it is must be beautiful thing.

We see a movie made by cut-up, it is very interesting, too.
A movie is Nike’s AD, celebrity appear that movie.
And he say ‘yes’ and ‘no’ again and again. That is a ‘cut-up’.

Engel bart’s invention give every facility for present-day global internet (≒ world wide web) and people’s cultural life.
I was surprised about that engel bart is live all the same.
He saw that internet’s developing, and he felt pride.
I envy he & his invention.



Actually,
I don’t understand this book about ‘engel bart and hyper text’, too.
Because this book was written by foreign, so everything was written in English.
So I think, I will read this book (augmenting human intellect) and ‘as we may think’, ‘welcome to the present’, again. (before middle exam, i-i)


And I look around home page (www.intermass.com/it081), and find next week’s topic ‘www’.
I think it (www) is very interesting topic.
Because ‘www’ have close connection with ‘hyper text’.

「Computer technology」 does not necessarily need to be implemented as hardware or software.

☻ My opinion

I had studied about nuclear and DNA in biology, so I am very glad when I met this word.

Gold's transmission speed is very fast, but it is not using these days.
Because Gold is very costly and Gold is attended with danger of stolen.

So as soon as possible, Developing of a substitute for Gold have to done.
That substitute have fast speed and substitute's price is cheap.


I think, memex is convenient for use. But memex is not exist.
Because it is very costly, in that century.

Usually, I have a lot of concern about hyper text.
Hyper text is very wonderful and special.
I wanna study about hyper text, on this occasion.

I read the book 'As We May Think', but it was written in English, so I don't understand this book.
so next time, I will read that book, again.

I don't had experience that compose an opinion in English.
So I am clumsy.

Sorry.
