Bricks & Clay

The fundamentals, the basic structures and formatting, of the web, is just as significant and vitally important to the web and its successful functioning, as the wooden frame to a house is a necessity for it to stand.

Some basics:

HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) - this is the language infrastructure of websites

HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) – this is the way of sending information

URL (Uniform Resource Locator) – this is the locater; the way of finding things

The most basic tags that make up html are very important to get correct when you are trying to create a website. To open a tag it is simply <html>. To close a tag which one needs to do to not only keep everything organised and readable for later references but so that your command only applies to the material that you want it to, a forward slash is required </html> .

The Beginning

Learning about the semantic web 3.0, the new upgrade, where every question one has could be answered thanks to some search engine like Google. The people we look up to like our parents or teachers who we traditionally see as having all the answers and wisdom and the best advice will definitely consequentially be at least slightly dishonoured, and will lose some of their power of wisdom.

Also thinking about the comparisons of twitter, a microblog, to this blog a full blog where I have room to explore my ideas to the furtherest extent that I like. Micro blogs only involve about 140 words or characters would be more like just a quick update, or a one sentence of thought; it suffices the shortest of attention spans. This shortening of attention span is one point to consider in the future, it may develop problematic habits and also may further cause our language to change….I intend to use this space to explore my thoughts to a further extent rather than just a quick update of my progression.
