It is impossible to give credit to the invention of the Internet to one person. It was done by dozens of scientists, engineers and programmers. They each developed technologies and features that merged into the “information superhighway” that we know it as today.   Nikola Tesla toyed with the idea of a “world wireless system” in the early 1900’s. Vannevar Bush and Paul Otlet “conceived of mechanized searchable systems of media and book in the 1930’s and 1940’s.”     The first working prototype came in the late 1960’s.

 My name is Emily Berkowitz and I am from Connecticut. I really enjoy horror/thriller movies especially the Annabelle movies because the museum with the real Annabelle doll is in my town, about five minutes from where I live. I listen to all types of music but I listen to a lot of country and rap music. My favorite music artist is definitely Post Malone.  I also enjoy being in the kitchen cooking and baking.  I am excited for this class because I want to learn more about the Adobe suite, especially Photoshop because I am a freelance photographer. I have been doing photography for about 5 1/2 years and started my business at the beginning of my senior year on high school. My favorite photographer by far is Peter McKinnon who I have learned a lot from. I. have also sold multiple copies of one of prints through a local cafe near my house. Lastly, I am very active as I play ice hockey and field hockey and I also go to the gym most days of the week.
