Foil 24 Why is Web Computer Revolution so Important?

From Untitled presentation Jamesville DeWitt Middle School 5th Grade / Modifications for Java Academy Talk -- 2 April 97. by Geoffrey C. Fox


1 The "Capitalist" Principle drives the national endevour to support the largest markets as there is more money there! (You learn this in social studies?)
2 Previously in computer area this was
  • "Mainframes" serving Information needed by a large company
  • Personal Computers serving individuals
3 The previous computing models could not be used by "real people" (like you and me) as
  • "Mainframes" only worked if you spent a lot of money and had what is called a closed architecture
  • PC's could be used by you and me but were a "limited model" i.e. provided a general electronic "desk/table" but no more
4 Java as the programming language of the Web provides a "complete computing communication and information" language which can be used by both kids and big companies
  • You can benefit from money spent by big companies!
