The World Wide Web Debuts
//By: Faye W. // The world wide web all started when a man named Time Berners-Lee started to put together a bunch of global information on the internet, so that users could read all about it. The first we browser was named WorldWideWeb. The first website was [|http://info.cern.ch]. The WWW project was made to allow people to share data, news, and documentation. The Internet was already made before the WWW was made.

The difference between the WWW and the Internet is that the Internet just started out as such little resources such as [|http://info.cern.ch], but the WWW is when they started connecting with Google, Yahoo, Bing, [|Ask], etc. So now, if you haven't realized yet, when your typing in the address of some website you now know what the www stands for in the address. If you don't know the www in www. google, yahoo, etc. it stands for World Wide Web. media type="youtube" key="1IQFjTnDozo" width="425" height="350" Sources: Wikipedia

Sony Walkman
By: Noah G. The first sony walker was really thick and bulky and only could play tapes and fm radio. Discussing the beginning of the walkman probably required a brief look at the audio scene in the 1970s. The audio industry was enjoying success in growing home stereo markets, and the implementation of the transistor for a portable AM band receiver created a pocket radio "boom" in the 1960s which continued well into the 1970s. "Boomboxes" or battery-powered one piece stereo systems were growing in popularity near the turn of the decade, with sound eminating through two loudspeakers. The consumers appreciated the ability to listen to high fidelity sound without being confined to sitting near a home stereo system. The pocket-sized micro and mini-cassette players were also successfully sold by companies like Panasonic, Toshiba and Olympus.

So was the development of a personal stereo system an obvious step in the evolution of audio? Shu Ueyama of Sony cites that this invention was purely accidental. Organizational changes were taking place at Sony in 1979 and the tape recorder division was pressed to market something soon or risk consolidation. They came up with a small cassette player capable of stereo playback. The invention was born from a tweaked Pressman (Sony's monaural portable cassette recorder) and a pair of headphones.
