Digital Misunderstanding

In this blog I will be going into detail about the captivating concepts of the media and the history of the World Wide Web, I will also elaborate on the mythologies of early digital media an all characteristics surrounding it.
As we are all aware the internet plays a huge role in the society we live in today as it distributes out significant and relevant information.  Many misunderstandings have come from the internet most of which all come from cultural assumptions and stereotypes. There are numerous cultural sectors that were very important and also transformed our cultural perception of the internet.
First and foremost the internet has been around for many years and started with the expansion electronic computers during the late 1950s. As a result of the internet creative thinking was brought to light by people in the early 1960s who witnessed great potential value in allowing computers to share information on research along with the development in immense scientific and military fields.
The main intention of the internet was so that was it can provide a beneficial communications network that would work even if some of the other major sites weren’t working. If one of the connection routes weren’t processing routers would traffic around the local area to find alternatives. Near the beginning internet was primarily used by computer specialist, engineers, scientist, and even librarians, no home office or computers were available in those days, and anyone who had access to it. Computer specialist had to learn this very complex system. Even though the number of websites on the internet were very miniature, it was quite easy to keep a record of the resources of particular interest. But for more and more institution of higher education and libraries the internet became harder to track.
