In the past, the only means of writing or finding information were through basic tools such as using paper and pencils. However, as we have progressed into the 21st century, modern technology has taken over human minds and captivated them into using a more convenient and active portal necessary for communication. Advanced tools such as the Internet, Apple products, and commercial markets such as Ebay and Amazon have given many people the power to obtain anything from the past, present, and future. In turn, a collaboration of ideas and sources have gone through changing hands on numerous occasions. Through technological advances, history is in the works of being spread around the world via Internet sources such as Web Sites. Unfortunately, common problems such as system crashes and Web Sites being pulled down, information can be concealed, making them mysterious and prone to performing disappearing acts. However, everything people enjoy and have come to depend on, tend to have both positive and negative side affects; in this case, technology is the basis for progress in the present and the future. Everything is constantly changing; nothing is the same for long.
Authors Daniel J. Cohen and Roy Rosenweigs describe their views in their essay, “A Guide to Gathering, Preserving, and Presenting History the Past on the Web”, as the intricate process of posting images and specific information regarding said images. They use specific steps that go through the precise methods of perfecting ways to make history more accurate and accessible for other people to discover and research. However, just because web pages are not handwritten, it does not mean they intentionally havr no signs of personality or distinct visual impressions. Creating a web site is important because a person has control of what they want to put on it, just as long as it is not copyrighted or illegally obtained. Important proponents which is most useful for the design of such a web site is prominent.
The creation of how to conduct and operate a Web Site has become both great facination and importance. A Web Site is a fundamental way people search for information online. For example, many students are pretty much glued to the Internet whether for research for a school project or communicating with their endless list of friends on FaceBook. Times are changing both in the social environment and the real world. It is a fresh opinion when someone sets up a Web Site that could have been created for different purposes. It is the pathway towards concrete knowledge and how the information is changing. For example, Wikipedia.org is a commonly known Web Site that students consult for information regardless of the information known to be inaccurate and false. Yet, it is still used by students to review what they what to know before an assignment is due or the day before an exam. That is an example, though, of the downfall of Web Sites. On the other hand, Web Sites created by universities or organizations are always being monitored to provide the information is valid. Digital text, images, and mulitmedia are key objects on an Internet Web Site that defines it and makes learning about history exciting and active. Museums have Web Sites which provide its viewers a virtual tour of the exhibits inside it before they make a trip to the museum. Web Sites make the act of learning both valuable and artistic.
