While disco music was hitting the airwaves, Vinton Cerf, later known as the "father of the internet," and researchers at Stanford University and UCLA were developing packet switching technology and transmission protocols that allowed the internet to function. in the 1980s, the National Science Foundation took on the task of designing a network that became the basis for the Internet, as it's know today. At the same time, a group of scientists in the European Laboratory of Particle Physics headed by Tim Berners-Lee was developing a system for the worldwide interconnectivity that was later known as the worldwide web.  When the internet was first created its uses we limited and only certain people knew how to use it. to be connected to the internet you had to have a Ethernet cable connected to your PC.

Today, the internet is accessible to everyone one worldwide and it can be use for a variety of things from research, to informational videos, to even watching your favorite shows. To access the internet you can use various options such as Ethernet cables, wireless signals, and hotspots  The internet know is different from the internet when it was first created because its abilities are pretty much limitless. There isn't anything you cant do on the internet. You can upload videos, create blogs, play games, meet people, network, open chat rooms, email, video chat, and stream videos and music live. Today people use the internet as a news source. The internet can be used as a radio and a television. According to the book the internet is being used more than the television and the radio.






Later:  In the future I predict that we will somehow be able to literally surf the web. Our technology is rapidly advancing we already have phones that project holograms. I think we will be able to access the internet from anywhere at anytime and the government will always know where our location is. predict that we will have to

The Development of electronic television continued throughout  the 1930s and television made its debut at the New York's World's Fair in 1939. Television was introduced to the public by David Sarnoff and the presidential television address was given by President Franklin D. Roosevelt from the Worlds Fair. in 1941 the FCC advised by the National Television System Committee, adopted a standard operation: On July 1, 1941, commercial broadcasting began by FCC approval. Compared to radio television required much more bandwidth on the electromagnetic spectrum. Back then, most television sets were small with small screens with no color. the first colored TV was created and distributed in 1953. ( Norman  J. Medoff & Barbra Kaye)

 Television plays a major role in our society today. Television is used by everyone and with newspapers starting to slowly fade away television is our main source of gathering information. Today people spend more time watching television than ever before. The a comparison from our generation and the previous generations is that television is access able to just about everyone who has the money for it. We use television for a lot of things, mainly for entertainment and news. he difference between television then and now is that we have more advanced styles of TV. Our TV's are larger, have better quality, picture, sound and size. In the 1930's there were no smart TV's, 3D TVs or plasma screen TVs or LED TV's. We also no longer use antennas we use modems and DVRs.








Later:  In the I predict that future TV will no longer need cable or satellite to operate. I think every TV will come with its own frequencies to operate. I also predict that the sizes of the television will get even larger than what the already are. With the way our technology is advancing I think that sometime in the near future TV's will be able to create holograms to make a persons viewing experience more thrilling and suspenseful .
