I hope that Tim Berners-Lee's answers to my questions will help me understand more about the information highway called the World Wide Web. (AnnaMariaT.)**
 * If I could meet Tim Berners-Lee, the inventor of the World Wide Web, I would ask him many questions because the world of computers is amazing. Especially the World Wide Web, because to me it is instant information available to anyone at the touch of one button. My first question is how old were you when you first thought about creating the World Wide Web and what gave you the idea to do so? My next question is why do you think computers are now considered neccesities after they were once considered luxuries, and do you think they are more user friendly? My final question to him would be when did they invent a new leisure activity called "surfing the web and who came up with that term?"

If I met Tim Berners-Lee I would ask him many questions, but I am only going to write about three of them. The first question I would ask is "how long did building the World Wide Web take?" I would ask him that because I was wonderingif it took more than 11 years because I am 11 years old and I just wanted to know. The second question I would ask is "When did he start building the World Wide Web and when did he finish?" I would ask him that because it would help me figure out how long it took. The last question I would ask Tim Berners-Lee is"Did he enjoy building the World Wide Web?" I would ask hithat because I was just wondering if it was fun. As you can see I wrote about three questions that I would ask Tim Berners-Lee. (Alyssa L.)

If I could meet Tim Barners-Lee I would ask him so many questions, but the most important questions I would ask him would be, How long did it take you to create the World Wide Web? How did you create the World Wide Web? I always wanted to know so much about the World Wide Web.(Paige M.)

If I could meet Tim Barners-Lee I would ask him many questions. Here are some of those questions. The first question I would ask him is if you have not invented World Wide Web how hard would it be to get some information off a computer. The second question I would ask him is what kind of things did the World Wide Web help do that were impossible before.(Eric K.)

If I could meet Tim Berner- Lee I would ask him a vary of qustions about his work. Here's what I would say. First, I would ask him how hard it was to make his creation. I think it would be a good qustion to ask him. Also, I would ask him how old he was when he made the world wide web. I'm shure a lot of people would want to know that. And finally, How did he do it. I want to know that the most. As you can see, I would ask him a lot of thinks.(Robert M.)

3. Show that you know the difference between the //Internet// and the //World Wide Web// by using each term in its own sentence.

The World Wide Web the documents and pictures you download from the servers to get information.**
 * The internet is all the computers connected together in a big network.
 * You send e-mails on the World Wide Web. The internet is a big network.(AnnaMaria T.)**

The difference between World Wide Web and the Internet is that an Internet is part of the World Wide Web, and the World Wide Web goes to everyone and it's every Internet combined into one web site. (Paige M.)

World Wide Web-I used the World Wide Web to go on a website Internet-I went on the Internet and sent my parents an E-mail (Alyssa L.)

The internet is where you communicate with other people or things similar to that. The World Wide Web is were you do other stuff than just talk to people like going on websites.(Eric K.)

The Internet is the master of the world wide web. The www is on the internet.(Robert m.) 4. Pages 11 and 13 show pictures of early computers. Would you have known that the pictures were of computers if the captions hadn't explained them? Why might these pictures be confusing?


 * In this story the pictures on pages 11 through 13 were of early computers. I do not think that without the captions I would have been able to figure out that they were some type of computer. The captions did help because early computer looked very different from todays computers. Todays computers are so much smaller and in size and look so much different. In the pictures they looked so complicated. They had so many different parts to it. Todays computers are so much more user friendly and they look nicer too! (AnnaMariaT.)**

I will write about if I would have known that the pictures on pages 11 and 13 were of computers without the caption telling me. I will also write about why the pictures would be confusing. No, I didn't know that the pictures were of computers because they are bigger, more complex, and they look so different in many ways. I think the pictures were confusing because there are so many buttons and a very skinny and small screen. The computer pictures on pages 11 and 13 look very different and that makes it confusing to me. Another reason about why the pictures look confusing is that the screen is attached to something with alot of buttons, lights, and again it's really big. As you can see I wrote about if I knew that the pictures on pages 11 and 13 were computers, and why I thought they looked confusing.(Alyssa L.)

On pages 11 and 13 show pictures of old computers. Underneith the pictures are captions that tell you how it works, and stuff like that. Without the captions I wouldn't beable to understand the pictures. Without the captions I wouldn't know what the picture is or how to use it. One of the captions says, early computers took up vast amount of space, yetcould only proform a tiny fraction of what today's computers do. Without that I probably wouldn't know that early computers took up a vast amount of space, or that it doesn't do as much as today's computers. The other caption says, the first personal computer came out three decades ago. It would take them years to gain widespread popularity. Without that I wouldn't know how long ago the first personal computer came out. As you can see pages 11 and 13 show pictures of old computers and captions undernieth them help you understand the picture. And without them you wouldn't know about the picture very well. (Paige M.)

The pictures on page 11 and 13 could have confused me if I didn't look at the captions for many reasons .Here's why. The first reason is the picture on page 11 could have confused me is the computer looks nothing like modern day computers. The computer is like 8 times the size of modern day computers! The first reason why the computer on page 13 could confuse me if I didn't read the captions is it looks similar to a radar. Possibly if you fold it up it will look like a lunch box. Another reason why is the screen is the screen is so tiny in both of them. This would make it hard to realize it's a computer. As you can see the pictures on page 11 and 13 could have confused me if I didn't look at the captions.(Eric K.)

I think that you wouldn't have been able to identify that the images on pages 11 and 13 were computers. Here's how come I wasn't able to identify them. First, they are normally a lot smaller in size now a days. If they are to big you might think it was a genorator or something. Also, you would think it might be an old box ready for them to fix, and not a computer. That is what it looked like to me. And third you might mistake it for an old rusty macine, and pass it by. As tou can see, most people can get confused about it. I wonder what you would say.(Robert M.)
