2. Sharing high energy physics publications among the academic community

• What did Robert Caillou see as a major strength of his web editor and browser as opposed to Gopher and ultimately Mosaic?

1. It opened each element in a new window
2. It handled links as connections as opposed to 'ugly' URLs

• What content did the first US web server host?

1. 300,000 high energy physics publications in a database known as SLAC

• The first Web sever in America was at the SLAC

1. it was a database of 300,000 research papers

• What was a common goal that the various innovators we've heard from were trying to achieve?

1. Improve communication between people all across the world

• What did Robert Caillau see as a major strength of his web editor and browser as opposed to Gopher and ultimately Mosaic?

2. Creating a web browser that was easy to install

• Who did Paul Kunz describe the modern implementation of the internet as being a "win-win" solution for?

1. The Web is a win for companies because it helps them reaching their target audience more directly
2. The Web is a win for everyday people as it allows them to do complex product comparisons effectively

• What did Steve Jobs contribute to the creation of the Internet?

1. He was responsible for the company that created the NeXT machine - and on which much of the most earliest development of the Internet was done.

• Which of the following is not true about the CERN high-energy physics lab?

1. They got a grant from the National Science Foundation to build the first Internet in 1985

• What makes Switzerland an ideal location to house a multi-national collaborative research facility like CERN?

1. Switzerland's longstanding neutrality allows scientists from all over the world to travel there more easily than other nations.

• What kinds of atmospheres do we consistently see as providing the right support to allow fantastic innovation to happen?
  1.Organizations that support and encourage creativity in all forms - including music, art, and the pursuit of extensive side projects.
