Convergence

Convergence- Things could not exist unless other things took place! It has come up with solutions.

For example- one needed to have the internet before the world wide web could come about- one thing leads to another! Example- The first computer looks very different than what they do nowadays.

Charles Babbage designed the first computer, starting in 1823. (google images) 

 



To now we have many different types of computers.
We have advanced in the computer-technology world but it all started with one idea, which turned into a creation which then evolved over time and will continue to do so.

First we had the internet J.C.R  who attended MIT- in 1962- "Galatic Network" concept which then lead to TCP/IP which was built so computers can share. You have protocol which is a list of steps you have to follow in order for things to work. The military and school academy's were the first to use TCP/IP. You have protocol which is a list of steps one has to follow in order for things to work.

The world wide web- HTTP is protocol for the web. With the web came searches and URL's Uniform Resource Locator is the global address of documents and other resources on the world wide web.

There is much more that goes into both the internet and world wide web but it goes to show that in order for one of them to take place the other had to come first! Also it is hard for me to explain in depth since so much went on and it is a little confusing to me still....since I thought the internet and the world wide web were the same thing...!!! There is also so much more that goes into convergence as well but here is my little version of it.
