I'm doing the time line for the internet, in a blog (what?). I cant find anything interesting, and i don't want my blog to look like the rest of the class. I'm vain like that.
I found a cool video, it expresses exactly what I want to say about the internet. NOTE* this is not my proper submission, merely a pre-submission (word?).
(H-REF1)
Best educational video ever.
....To Be Continued.

Langauge of the screen
We are asked to find the true meaning of these three abreviations:
A. ECU
B. WS
C. MS
What an epic task....
...but seriously, it was.
After 30 minutes into my search for ECU, with half the class having already finished, I had failed. Given up!, changed to facebook and began fooling around in imovie.
You know that nagging feeling you get in your stomach sometimes, when you know your in the red, I had it, it was telling me to do my work....and maybe raid the vending machine downstairs.
So after searching many, many websites I found what ECU meant....Extreme Close Up...What!!! who was ready for that!, here's me searching for what felt like hours for computer parts...fail.
Once Id stumbled upon the then mystical "ECU", "WS"(Wide Shot) and "MS"(Medium Shot) soon fell.
To define them:
ECU: A picture taken at very, very close range, like an extreme close-up of a face might show only an eye. Shot would only contain a single face in frame. (H-REF1)
WS: A wide shot shows most of the scene or "field of view", Its usually the establishing shot. IT. SEE'S. ALL
MS: A medium shot of an individual will take in the body from the knees or waist up. (H-REF2)
ECU.
WS.
MS.

A Brief History of the Internet
DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) is the research branch of the U.S. Department of Defense that funded a project, that in time was to lead to the creation of the Internet. Originally called APRA (the "D" was added to its name later), DARPA came into being in 1958 as a reaction to the success of Sputnik, Russia's first manned satellite.
