Today's
Word

Ripper

A software program that "grabs" digital audio from a compact disc and transfers it to a computer's hard drive. The integrity of the data is preserved because the signal does not pass through the computer's sound card and does not need to be converted to an analog format. The digital-to-digital transfer creates a WAV file that can then be converted into an MP3 file.

 

 

READER FEEDBACK...

A reader asks...

Q.   "Sometimes I miss a day and I 'lose' that day's ComputerGuyNY Report.  How can I see a previous day's stuff"

 

A.   I'm creating an archive that will allow everybody to go back and see all of the past issues of ComputerGuyNY Report.  Stay tuned.

 

 

 

ON THE LIGHTER SIDE...

       Visitors to Cuba are usually Havana good time.

 

 

WEEKLY IN DEPTH...

Note: the following Internet info will remain here for the entire week.

 

A Brief History of the Internet

The U.S. Department of Defense laid the foundation of the Internet roughly 30 years ago with a network called ARPANET.  Limited to educational and scientific use, ARPANET was a very technical experiment.

The general public didn't use the Internet much until after the development of the World Wide Web in the early 1990s.  Basicaly, the World Wide Web is a graphical document standard (based upon a computer language called HTML) that allows the sharing of millions and millions of documents (Web Pages) among all those who are connected to the network of computers known as the INTERNET (formerly known as ARPANET).

As recently as June 1993, there were only 130 Web sites. Now there are millions and millions of Web sites.  It was the "easy to use" graphical nature of HTML documents that contributed greatly to the growth of the World Wide Web as we know it.


No one authority controls the World Wide Web. Today's Web site authoring tools allow virtually anyone who has access to a computer and the Internet to post a Web site and contribute to the definition of what this medium is and what it can do.

All of this in just the last few years... and you ain't seen nothing yet.  What a great time in history to be alive!
