Created in 1990 by Tim Berners- Lee, the web quickly became the most used hypertext system in the world, and most browsers default to indicating hyperlinks with an underline. To answer the question of why the underline was chosen over competing demarcation techniques, the thesis applies the methods of history of technology and sociology of technology. Before the invention of the web, the underline–also known as the vinculum–was used in many contexts in writing systems; collecting entities together to form a whole and ascribing additional meaning to the content.

  • A Man and His Vision for the Browser
    A Man and His Vision for the Browser http://www.eweek.com/print_article2/0,1217,a=167407,00.asp A Man and His Vision for the Browser December 25, 2005 Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web in 1989 and introduced the first Web client in 1990, touching off a technological revolution that continues to play out in today's rapidly evolving Internet space. The inventor and self-proclaimed "user interface engineer" continues to help guide development of the Web and related technologies from his position as director of the W3C (Worldwide Web Consortium) and senior researcher at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's CSAIL (Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory). RELATED LINKS Browser Success Can't Be Measured in Market Share Apple Plugs Critical Safari Browser Flaws Firefox Blazes New Browser Trail MS Details More IE 7 Security Goodies Firefox Faces Uphill Battle, Analysts Predict Much of this work currently revolves around his concept for a more abstract, data-oriented online communications network, or what he calls the Symantec Web. Berners-Lee recently spoke with eWeek.com Senior Writer Matt Hines about the current state of Web browsing technologies and further outlined his plans for improving the software to help make his vision for the future a reality. Since launching the first Web client in 1990, the browser software arena has evolved in a lot of different ways. Is there anything about all of the different browser development that's been done to this point that really surprises you? When I wrote the browser, people were using documents with wizzywig editors, so I really assumed that what people were going to use for preparing content was wizzywig, or what you see is what you get.

  • HTML5 – the Future Web Design
    HTML5 – the future web design HTML5 is a term known to most people in the IT industry. HTML5 is much hyped due to its potential to enable Telcos to take a stronger position in the mobile value chain. Telenor Group’s Frode Kileng talks about what HTML5 actually is and its implications for Telenor. HTML5, or "Hyper Text Markup Language" version 5, is the newest version of the language used to specify the layout and basic interactive elements of a web page. The ‘hype’ about HTML 5 is related to the vision that this new language gives web developers the ability to write feature-rich applications that can run on any device. Telecom companies such as Telenor embrace this due to cost reductions and as a means to break out of the platform vendor value chain lock-in (Apple/Android/Windows). However, several challenges must be overcome in order for this vision to become a reality. Q: Frode, can you start by telling us what HTML actually is? Frode: HTML is the technical language describing how a web site looks, including interactive elements. This language is not only used to view web pages in a web browser but also to develop applications. HTML is standardized in the W3C (see fact box), where Telenor became a member in 2012. Q: What’s new with HTML5? Frode: First of all it’s important to differentiate between the HTML5 standard and the public vision of HTML5. The HTML5 standard that will be finalized in 2014 is just a minor evolution from the previous HTML4.

  • KANBAN at MOBILE.DE Creating the Perfect Process, One Block at a Time
    KANBAN AT MOBILE.DE Creating the Perfect Process, One Block at a Time KANBANCASESTUDYSERIES pple’s App Store users gave it a one-star rating. The first entry by the online search tool for Abuying and selling vehicles, mobile.de, on the portable devices arena was not receiving a standing ovation by any means. Ralf Tomczak, mobile.de’s CTO, stood in disbelief as he saw how many downloads were followed by user reviews far below the top score of five. “We knew our first mobile application could be better, but we never expected the users to be that harsh,” he says. The year was 2010; iOS application downloads had reached the billion mark, and users were already being spoiled by a growing talent force equipped to make their mobile experience fulfilling and meaningful. Mediocre applications were not simply being criticized; they were also tarnishing the images of the companies that released them. A mid-September Friday in 2013 is Holger Hammel’s last day as Development Manager of the mobile development team for mobile.de. He is moving on to his next assignment within the parent company, eBay Inc., leaving behind three mobile applications and a mobile version of mobile.de. The rewritten iOS app now has an average ranking of 4.5 stars. The team has created iPad and Android apps and a mobile website portal. The site carries an app-like look and feel and generates roughly 35 percent of the overall traffic for the service. This is the story of how Holger and his team turned the odds with the help of the Kanban Method and Lean Thinking.
