Assignment 7


1. Go to http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/new-fantasyland/ and look around it a little bit. Now go to http://www.byteland.org/angeloflife. Now why do you think the .com website is more exciting than the .org website? 
The .com is more for commercial than .org websites. The Disney website was promoting the new fantasy land of Disney and the .org website was showing information on a nonprofit organization named angels of life. The .com contains more animations and interaction than the .org website. The .org website just displays the information without any pretty pictures or organizations. 


2. Why do you think the Disney website has more hyperlinks, advertisements, and other distracting options to click on?
The Disney website since it's a commercial it has more hyperlinks to take you to other pages to buy stuff or  advertisements to promote different things for Disney.  The Disney website wants to trap your attention in any way it can. The nonprofit organization, on the other hand, just tells you about how the organization works and what it does. 


3. If you had to construct/create your own webpage from the beginning, what would you want it to be about and why?
I would want to do a website on the effects of drugs on people and how we can prevent people from using them. It would look professional, but fun at the same time with many animations and images. This would trap the attention of the users, and it would inform the users of the negative causes. 


4. How many programmers do you think would have to work with you to make your website possible? Would it seem impossible to construct/create a webpage by yourself? Why? 
To create my webpage I wouldn't need many programmers. I could do it by myself, however, it would be lots of work and very time consuming. Yes, it is possible to create a website. I've created only website in my life, and it wasn't very hard but it did take a lot of time.
5. What would you want to name your website? Type that name into the web-address bar, is it taken already?
Www.killerdrugs.com


6. Explain why webpages with flash videos, images, and color take longer to load than pages with only text?
Websites with more information such as images and color take longer to load due to the more megabytes it has to load. If a website only contained text, it would be quicker because of the smaller amount of text. Although websites with more color and images are more attention getting, websites with only text load faster.
