I’ll tell you all about media on the internet, including:
You’ll find out why those silly .gifs, while great for social platforms, are not ideal for websites. I’ll also peel back the curtain, and show you the business not only behind building a website, but also keeping it online. We’ll also touch upon Javascript. You’ve seen that term bandied about, now you’ll know what it is, and how it works.
The best thing about the internet is also the worst thing about it: Anybody can publish anything. Whether or not it’s ethical, or legal, to do so is another conversation. You’ll read about ownership, and other legal concerns regarding web content. We’ll also talk a bit about security. There’s a lot of bad people out there, and they lurk on the internet. . .but we’ll keep you safe.
If the internet is to be for everyone, then it needs to be accessible to everyone. Persons with visual and other disabilities require government services, and yes, they buy things too. It’s imperative for legal reasons, and for best business practices, to have an accessible site. You’ll read about that here.
This page isn’t just legal stuff, though. You’ll also read about the fundamentals of web design, and how far we’ve come since Geocities.
The internet plays a role in inequality and in social change, as well. You’ll find out why.
