The first article I read was, “A Little History of the World Wide Web” it was very interesting to see when this great invention really started. I never really thought about how much time and effort it took to create something like the web. It was more than one person and came to be because of not just one single idea. After reading this, though some of it was hard to understand with the lingo, it really gets your brain thinking about the web and all the different parts to it.
The second article I read was “As We May Think” by Bush and what was most interesting about it was that it was written so far back. I was not aware that people could be so ahead of their time even in that day and age when technology was not as big and important as it is now. It once again amazes me how much actually goes into this invention. To hear about it from the scientific viewpoint was something I think everyone should read about. I think it would really open up peoples eyes. That face that sometimes people are in such a hurry to get things done or think that things just happen right away, this article proves it to be different.
The last article, “Realising the Full Potential of the Web” was probably my favorite. The way it was organized was easy to read and understand. I liked how he used it as his dreams. Everyone has dreams and can make them work. One thing that really caught my attention was the part about the “oh yeah” button. People either completely trust the web or do not at all. Some may not even think about the harm or dishonestly of the web. I think that the “oh yeah” button is a great idea. Why should you believe what a certain page is saying or what makes this page so important that you should even read it? Another thing that caught my attention is the use of the words, Tree and Matrix… I was not sure what exactly those things were.
Overall, these articles really got my thoughts flowing. Technology these days is just fascinating. The things people can do or just communicate with one another across countries is something I do not know how the world survived without. Even the simplest thing like movies and how much action you can have look so real amazes me.

That article is my fave too :) You mention that the words "tree" and "matrix" were words that unclear to you. Berners-Lee used those words to refer to structures that are very much interconnected. You think of a tree and how each section branches off into another section and can connect with various sections. Does that make sense?
