As usual, it is always good to read through the entire assignment, BEFORE you start on it.
1. Read through the following references
and answer the questions below in complete sentences. You should send
your answers to me in an email using the same numbering system (question
1a, 1b, 1c, 1d, 2).
http://www.pbs.org/internet/timeline/index.html
http://livinginternet.com/
a. What is the Internet?
b. Who invented the Internet?
c. When was the Internet invented?
d. Why was the Internet invented?
(notice that we left out the question on "How does the Internet work?" - obviously it would take a lot of writing to answer this question, so just think about how you would answer this question)
2. Use a search engine to look up at least one additional reference to 'Internet History' to find additional information that is not answered in the answers to the questions above. Summarize this article in your own words. If you learned anything interesting that you did not already know, mention this in your summary also. Be sure to include the URL for the website where you found your additional Internet history information.
3. Compose an email message with
- your answers to the questions in #1
- your additional Internet history information found in question #2 (along with the reference)
- email your answers to me with the subject of Assignment #3
