My final project is a interactive digital book for kids. The story is a story that I am wrighting about a cat that lost her family and have to learn for her self the about human relations ship and the meaning of friendship, love, pain, and decision making.
What is different in this digital story from other that exist already on-line? I would like to create a place for discussion for important subjects matter in life like: to die, to trust your self, to find and appreciate real love and friend ship between kids and family, parents and educators.
what will be the aesthetic? the illustrations will be drawings done with a masking tape technique that i have developed based in lines and shapes that help the viewer to have an idea about the spaces and characters characteristic but will bot fully depict them in order to allow the reader to go further in the story and create their own interpretation of the illustrations.
How will be the format? it will be a DreamWeaver file with image and links that connects alternative levels of related information about the story or important points where will be important to be discussed by the kid and the adults.
who it will be developed? I will use adobe Illustratore, Photoshop and Dreamweaver
I know that it is a big project to accomplish but i am very exited to do it.

The ABC of the World Wide Web
In order to fully understand the meaning of the Internet and the World Wide Web and its origins, evolution and radical changes through the years. We have to comprehend the highly complex meaning of concepts such us hypertext, hypermedia, links, and navigation.
The concept of non-sequential writing was very important to create the framework needed to develop concepts such us: browsing, text links, bookmarks, and the ability to move forward and backwards in this kind of endless virtual book full of “Pages” that the World Wide Web represents today. The Ted Nelson’s terms hypertext and hypermedia from the 60’s and the history of computers’ evolution allowed newer generation trough the years to re-thing and re-create the original concepts in what the internet and World Wide Web is today.
The early 1990s work done at the CERN, the circulation of the proposal for a hypertext-based 'information mesh'(World Wide Web), the creation of protocol for exchanging files across the Internet (hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP)) and the hypertext markup language brought nelson’s ideas to a completely new dimension that change the understanding of the world. Starting a new era where the space where people, communicate, socialize and shear ideas could be real or virtual (hyperspace).
I personally thing that we are in the beginning of the understanding of the possibilities of this new media and we have a long way to go to developed the full potential of the WWW.
