Image of Sand font
5. The font seen in the image above, a font inappropriate for paragraph text, is called Sand. The image was produced by the computer at IP address 10.209.10.102. See http://10.209.10.102/~student/font_sand.png to see the original image file. The three lines are seen below as text with a cascading style command setting it to the Sand font. Try viewing this page, http://www.comfsm.fm/~dleeling/cis/i21t2.html on your computer. You won't see the Sand font. Why isn't the sentence seen below in Sand on your computer? Note: the text seen below is also not in Sand font on this test paper because the computer used to print the test is the same as the one in B102.
Black waters swirl around my face,
Muddy vortices twirl backwards,
Down the length of my submerged body.

  16. The man who invented the term "hypertext" considers HTML and the World Wide Web to be a poor implementation of his original hypertext idea. He envisioned a system that would do many things HTML cannot do. His idea would include giving users the ability to add links to pages written and posted by other people. He also specified that true hypertext is two-way. HTML consists of one-way links only: the anchor tag a only sends you to another page, but there is not necessarily a link on that page going back to where you came from. He also intended that hypertext systems would keep track of versions and changes in the text so that you could read what used to be there prior to editing changes. And he wanted documents to be archived so that there would be no "broken" links that lead to messages such as "404 Not Found". What features would you want to add to HTML and the WWW to improve the web? What things does the web not do now that you want it to be able to do?
