The Origin of the World Wide
How the internet started & the basic form of the internet
From what i gathered from this tasks and my resources, the modern internet was created in the 1957 where the sputnik, a man made satellite, was launched. Next, in 1961 kleinrock published his first book about packet switching. Later then, in August 1962 J.C.R. Licklider used the internet to post his memos. This must have been one of the first uses of the web which was in more of a social nature, rather than a scientific one. So, in just 5 year the internet had already developed to this stage.
President Dwight D. Eisenhower created the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) in 1958 as a direct response to Sputnik's launch, they then created something called ARPAnet, in 1967. By 1972 ARPA had created, NCP (Network Control Protocol), first host-host protocol, first e-mail program and their ARPAnet had 15 nodes.
I found a link to this PDF file on a website that is somehow connected to Swansea University. This gives me more confidence that the information is true, as is more or less being represented by this university. The information within the link talks about the past, present and future of the internet. Also, in August 1962 J.C.R. Licklider used the internet to post his memos, this has been mentioned in other links to so, this fact can be verified.
How Stuff Works, is a very useful and informative site with a massive database of information about, "how stuff works". I’ve used it a few times and it is normally very clear and simple so that you can understand it. The link i have displayed here is also clear and easy to comprehend. This link tells us that the internet started in the 1950s where a satellite called Sputnik was launched. however, there was a lack of information on the origins of the internet.
This link talks about a variety of different people who were involved in the orign of the internet, including Leonard Kleinrock, who published is first book on packets around 1960. This link goes into detail about the creator of the internet and how it gradually progressed to become what it is today. I have little doubt that this document is false, as it is written by a handful of computer science engenderers’.

The Red Bull Air Race
This is a growing sport which its extremely dangerous. Many planes crash and debris has been known to hit the spectators.
For these pilots to fly these places the way that they do, they are dependant on the machines and pray that their reliable. To ensure that the driver is safe and that the plane can maneuver in the way it should, there is a massive amount of technology put into these planes.
This planes are filled with technology and different microcontrollers which are used to controll all the conponnets on the plane, like the winglets on each side and the back. also these microcontrollers are also used to give back information on the planes status. This is even more so with bigger passenger planes which are filled with gadgets to protect the passengers; heres an image.
