1. Analyze the history, protocols, and architecture of the Internet and the World Wide Web.

(2 to 3 paragraph answer)

The internet, which is simply a network or interconnection of computers, was invented in the

1960s. The first version, ARPANET, was created by the US defense department to easy and

enable communication between computers within the department. In the 70s, Vinton Cerf and

Robert Kahn developed the TCP/IP protocol, which revolutionized the internet (Robert, 2012).

But it was until 1983 when Tim Berner-Lee invented the World Wide Web that enabled easier

sharing of information through browsers in the form of hypertext documents. Advanced on the

communicate (Tréguer, 2017). The IP part of the protocol is responsible for assigning addresses

to computers within a network while the TCP is responsible for delivering data once the

addresses are assigned. Additionally, there is UDP (User Datagram Protocol), which is similar to

TCP but less reliable as it does not confirm the delivery of all packets during data transfer. On

the worldwide web, there is the HTTP, which is a protocol that defines data transfer in the form

of multimedia, test, and graphic over browsers.

The internet architecture mainly consists of three levels: backbone internet service

provider (ISP), regional ISP, and the clients or final users. The backbone ISPs are big

international companies that facilitate the interconnection of computers over the world. They do

this by laying out data cable such as fiber optics under the seas to connect continents in one large

network. The regional ISPs, on the other hand, distribute and facilitate access to the internet like

the backbone ISPs but at a regional level (Robert, 2012). Finally, end-users are the people

accessing the internet. The architecture is made up of elements such as protocols, software, and

hardware. The software interacts with the hardware using defined rules (protocols) to facilitate

the transfer of data. Web architecture, on the other hand, defines how communication is enabled

over the internet. The main components are the servers that hold data and the final users who

have internet-enabled devices such as PCs and smart-phones. The client sends a request to the

internet using hand-held devices. When designing one, the designer should always be conscious

that mobiles have a smaller display size than computer monitors. This is the biggest difference

between the two types of websites. Due to the small screen, the mobile-use website has a very

different presentation such as a portrait display of content, extra navigation bars to avoid

overcrowding of content and better user-interface in terms of arrangement and order of content

(Markland et al., 2017). Most web developers today have to create both computer and mobile

versions of their websites.

Traditional websites were mainly made for computer users. As such when accessed over

the phone, content would get distorted or would not fit to screen. Such websites continue to exist

today. However, they are getting out of date as they are facing a very stiff competition of

dynamic one (Lamirel & Reymond, 2014). Additionally, due to the bulkiness of the information

on the website, traditional websites at times did not display on a mobile phone or took too long.

5. Assess the moral and ethical considerations of the use of the intellectual property and

how the web designer can incorporate a Christian worldview into World Wide Web

communications. (2 to 3 paragraph answer)

Intellectual properties are human intellect products owned by individuals (natural or artificial) or

groups of individuals that are protected by laws from their use without consent from the

perpetrators. Ignorance also adds to the challenge. One of the ways to reduce infringement is the

creation of awareness among internet users.

Christianity, as well as other religions in the world, are doctrines that define morals and

codes of conduct. The Christian world view on the use of the internet is that despite the freedom

of expression for all users in the world, we should all be conscious that our actions affect other

people. Thus, every user should use the internet responsibly. In this view web, designers as

content creators have the biggest responsibility. When designing the internet, content should

moral codes and observe the Christian way of living. For example, web designers should avoid

designing content that promotes abortion, pornography, and worldly greed.

7. Assess the technical and usability strengths and weaknesses of commercial websites. (2 to 3

paragraph answer)

One of the strengths of commercial websites is the ability to reach a very wide audience at

any time and any place in the world as long as the users have internet access. This allows the

organization to reach a very diverse and big audience cheaply. Secondly, with good traffic of

visitors on the website, the website could push the organization's brand and advertise products

(Jiang, 2019). Additionally, commercial websites with the ability to interact with clients allow

organizations to be client-centered in its operations. Changes can be made and allow dynamicity

devices.

8. Evaluate emerging standards in web markup languages. (2 to 3 paragraph answer)

HTML was among the first web markup languages to be invented. However, numerous

advancements have been made to the language as well as the introduction of other new

languages. For example, XHTML is a new HTML version that helps create web content that

integrates easily with extensible markup languages (MoChridhe, 2019). Conversely, the use of

CSS to make websites user-friendly has become common. This is also not to forget the increased

use of JavaScript to create more interactive and dynamic websites.

Today the standards are high for two major reasons. Firstly, there are very many and

diverse internet users today. Web designers need to develop websites that are user-friendly to all.

Secondly, competition in the corporate world has increased (MoChridhe, 2019). As such, web

developers have to constantly improve their skills to create better content to keep up with this

competition.

Question Two

The web presentation is of a simple addition calculator. CSS and HTML are utilized to

present the user with the layout on the web browser. The calculator consists of a field that shows

the result of a computation, two entry fields that capture user input values, and a button to

compute the sum. The inputs only accept numbers due to the type property, which is set to

number. Additionally, the input that displays the solution is set to read-only to ensure no value

can be entered. The click() method fires the button’s click event. It calls the calculate function,

which handles the computation. To get the values from the HTML document, I used both

for Mozilla Firefox, -o- for opera mini, and lastly, -ms- for internet explorer.

Responsive design attained through bootstrap columns allows the website to shrink the

elements and content to match the screen size. Furthermore, it makes the website mobile-

friendly. Images do not become bigger than the size of the screen. The homepage consists of a

carousel that displays some of the products on the e-commerce webpage. The navigation is also

responsive and hides the links to display a hamburger menu when viewed on mobile devices.

The website has two pages. The main sections of the website include the navigation and

footer. The navigation consists of a strip at the top of the webpage. It has a logo on the left side

are stored in an array. The function selects a random item in the array and presents it to the user

in a p element that is populated using the innerHTML property whose key function is to either

return or set the value of an element.
