Throughout “Long Live the Web” by Tim Berners-Lee, Lee differentiates the difference between the web and the internet and discusses how quickly and drastically both have evolved and changed overtime and how it is our responsibility to protect the uses of the internet such as net neutrality for example and how it is incredibly important. He states that despite how old the internet was been, people can still improve upon it without changing the internet itself and provides examples such as how manufacturers can improve household appliances without changing how electricity functions. I think because the internet was built to be this way, is part of the reasons to why it has became a giant global force, and is exactly part of the reason to why it has become an international force that everyone can attribute too. It is easy and versatile to use and for tasks such as doing international trade and business, the internet would be the perfect tool to aid in that.
I then chose to read “The Room Where the Internet Was Born” by Ingrid Burrington. Throughout reading it, I kept thinking about how it felt to be one of the people who invented the ARPANET in a small room, which later became the internet, and how they probably did not expect their creation to have such a world wide influence and change human history forever. It’s also crazy to imagine that the internet hasn’t been around for a long time at all and has changed so much within a short time frame. And while throughout the majority of human history, the internet was never a part of someone’s daily lives but in our generation, it has become a crucial aspect of our everyday life now.
