The World Wide Web, commonly known as the WWW and the Web, is an information space where documents and other web resources are identified by Uniform Resource Locators, which may be interlinked by hypertext, and are accessible via the Internet. English scientist Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web in 1989. He wrote the first web browser in 1990 while employed at CERN near Geneva, Switzerland. The browser was released outside CERN in 1991, first to other research institutions starting in January 1991 and to the general public on the Internet in August 1991.
Marquette University Student Media is the official outlet of Marquette University's College of Communication, which allows students to gain real-world experience in producing mainstream media.
Student Media Interactive began existing in its present form in 2003, [1] when the Diederich College of Communication had a problem: content from all of its Student Media outlets had been produced but had no way of being displayed within the college's main building, Robert A. Johnston Hall. Freshman Paul Hinze and sophomore Michael Schultz were asked to create such a system, using two 30-inch Apple Cinema displays, a Power Mac G5 and Adobe Flash. The project, dubbed WindowBox, was completed roughly a year later. It consisted of XML files of media data being fed to Flash, and jointly displayed on the twin screens. Schultz and Hinze remained employed by the college to work on other technological projects.
The J. William & Mary Diederich College of Communication is one of the primary colleges at Marquette University, located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The college is named for J. William Diederich, a former executive at Landmark Media Enterprises, and his wife, Mary.
