TIME WORKED ON: 12 HOURS TIME CRYING: 8 HOURS LINES OF CODE: 624 ARTIST STATEMENT:            I created my project using the Adobe application DreamWeaver.

It is likely that your phone, computer, house and school are on a network, that together form a larger network. These area networks are connected to other networks nearby to create regional networks. These are connected to other regional networks, and so on and so forth. The networks here on Earth are connected to satellites in space and are also a part of the Internet. The Internet was founded by Robert E. Kahn and Vint Cerf in 1990 (Web 1). The Web is what we use to access the Internet. It is not a network o
