2.2. Beginnings of the World Wide Web
Shortly after
graduating college with a bachelor degree in accounting and business
administration in 1988, I signed up as an alumni so I could continue using the
library for research (I practically lived there) and so I can especially
continue using the computer center to get on the new and budding world wide web
(www).At that time I had a laptop and then I eventually got my first desktop
system in 1995. I brought a pack of 30 floppy disks (remember those, lol) and I
would spend hours downloading whole websites on those disks to view at home on
my own computer.
Around this
time, a school in Red Hook Brooklyn had a brand new computer lab but no teacher
wanted the job. Teachers were afraid to take the job there because the principal
of the school had pursued a child who ran out the school building into Red Hook
Projects, and the principal was shot and killed that day. I applied and got the
job as the computer lab instructor for the school. This was my lucky break.
On my breaks I taught myself web design and improved on my first website I created back in 1995. I began studying HTML which eventually led to my studying Java script and PHP in order to create better website.
