The Internet is probably considered one of the greatest innovations of our time. Our everyday life is based and built up, by us having and using the internet. The Internet was founded on January 1, 1983, which is considered the official birthday of the Internet. Prior to this, the various computer networks did not have a standard way to communicate with each other. Tim Berners-Lee, a British scientist, invented the World Wide Web (WWW) in 1989, while working at CERN. The web was originally conceived and developed to meet the demand for automated information-sharing between scientists in universities and institutes around the world.

Today, we use the internet much differently than what he did before. Becouse of the internet we have available access to information as well as communication, which is a key in our daylie lives. From checking news, listening to music and most importantly, most jobs in our society is created becouse of the help from the internet.  


The internett was we know it today is much different from what World Wide Web once was. The world wide web, or web for short, are the pages you see when you're at a device and you're online. But the internet is the network of connected computers that the web works on, as well as what emails and files travel across (https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/47523993). 


The first website was created on August 6, 1991. The first website is defiantly not as exiting was what we see today, especially becouse there are more than 1.9 billion different websites on the internet. The name of the website was created by the European company CERN, and the British computer scientist Tim Berners Lee. The website had information about the world wide web, as well as information about coding and how to make your own website. After years the website was lost, but in 2013 CERN launched a project to restore the website. http://info.cern.ch/  

 

As people often say, the brains of people are often more interesting than their looks, and that aplays for Hedy Lamarr. Hedy was not only adored by fans worldwide for being an Oscar nominated actress and style icon, but she was also applaud and cherished by her strength and brain. Hedy was an inventor who lead and pioneered the technology and communication systems we use today, such as WiFi, GPS, and Bluetooth. One of her famous ideas was created to help and protect people from war-time radio invention. But, still to this day, has her estate seen nothing but a cent from what is now a multi-billion dollar industry and are being used every single day throughout the world.  


In June 2022 Jonny Depp posted a video of tribute to Hedy Lamarr. The song is called “This Is a Song for Miss Hedy Lamarr.” The song plays a tribute to Lamarr's story, and how nobody trusted her to be a smart woman, based on her sex appeal, which is still today a huge issue in our society.  

In today's world we see a lot of countless and basic logos who holds no meaning, but for Bluetooth that’s the opposite. According to one of the engineers behind the development of Bluetooth, the name belongs to a Viking-era king with a bad tooth. (https://www.creativebloq.com/news/bluetooth-logo-secret). After many disappointing pitches and ideas for the name of their creation, they came up with the catching name, that was a nickname for the Viking king of Norway and Denmark, who had a dead tooth. As for the logo, it also stems from the name. The letters shown on the logo, is the Nordic runes for the letters H and B, and together formed the Bluetooth logo.

Wi-Fi is a wireless networking technology that allows devices such as computers (laptops and desktops), mobile devices (smart phones and wearables), and other equipment (printers and video cameras) to interface with the Internet. (https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/wireless/what-is-wifi.html)  

In 1991, NCR Corporation with AT&T Corporation invented the precursor to 802.11, intended for use in cashier systems. The first wireless products were under the name WaveLAN. They are the ones credited with inventing Wi-Fi. (https://www.cablefree.net/wireless-technology/history-of-wifi-technology/)

  PHOTOSHOP: SOMEWHERE         Artist statement:     With the use of photoshop I got to place myself into my favorite TV shows . For this project I used different tools on photoshop that complemented my wish and got the perfect final photo. I used a photo I found online of the TV show “Sex and the City ” . I really enjoy watching this TV show, as well as their movies. Since all the characters are very stylish, I found a photo of me wearing the perfect outfit, that matches their colors and the total vibe and aesthetic of the characters.

  My name is Anine Wilberg, I am 21 years old, from Oslo, Norway.  As Oslo is both the capital and Norway's biggest city, it has a lot to offer. In between busy streets, it has a beautiful landscape and nature, which depicts my childhood, which has helped me to become the women I am today.

I am a very adventurous and creative person, as I believe comes from traveling around the world playing Tennis but also exploring different countries, as well as cultures.  My favorite accomplishment in my life is a difficult question to answer.
