My second DS106 Assignment is about making a pinterest board of what my dream vacation would be like. I’ve always been fond of animals and so I would go to an african safari as my dream vacation. While going to the zoo is similar, I’d really like to see animals in their natural habitat. I […]

The DS106 Assignment I chose to do was to make a pinterest board for a character. I chose Hermione Granger from the Harry  Potter series. I’ve been a big fan of the Harry Potter series and I thought it would be really fun to make a board for one my personal favorite characters. When I […]

These are courses that are available for anyone with a reliable internet connection to take, free of cost.[1] Financial […]

“The thing that is most extraordinary about the internet is the way it enables permissionless innovation. This stems from two epoch-making design decisions made by its creators in the early 1970s: that there would be no central ownership or control; and that the network would not be optimised for any particular application: all it would do is […]

My three contributions to the timeline were Myspace, eBay, and the iTunes music store. The iTunes music store has played a significant role because it was the first music store where music and other digital media could be downloaded legally. Before iTunes, websites like Napster were used to obtain digital media, but illegally. iTunes revolutionized […]
