Same thing Different way

In the article Ancient Images and New Technologies: The Semiotics of the Web written by,
Philippe Codognet he describes how the binary system as was created over 500 years ago is still
being used to bring about ways to identify, store, and transfer images through the computer, and
to navigate, and use the Internet. All of the way that the Binary system has ushered in over that
period new technology in order for people to identify and make connections with what images
and pictures that represent a product, an object, as well as websites.

The way that pictures wereused in books as an icon, as well as diagrams such as used when showing the human anatomy can also be seen on the web in thumbnails as an icon for quick association with different images that thumbnail may contain. Also the way that pictures were numbered back then from the mideval, and renaissance periods in how they are numbered for identification in Books on any subject as well as Books of this age written on how to create webpages, and websites.

The early images pictures were done in books such as the Bible, as well as in wood carvings to communicate information that people can easily understand through use of images. This type of format has been used throughout time, and serves as an alternate memory that stores, and recalls for later exploration and use. Memory is highly discussed in the article of how images can
be remembered by people more easier and sometimes faster, than words, And that the logic of the binary system has made the same use of incorporating images throughout time, as well as the present for people to remember and recall things better by the images they see and are exposed to.

It is also argued that the Internet had not been used for visuals, as the earlier computers were
used to compile and distribute data then it would just be unappealing text, and data for the General public and that would only be for Military, and Medical agencies across the world.But since combining Pictures with the Binary system for this age the web has become accessible and acceptable to all.

All through the web there are images that people know by simply looking at them as they are
placed on any given website, and also what they represent. A person can go to a website '
as explained in the article and see an image of female clothing and know it's a shopping website
or a Department store that has a website. Or a person can go to a site such as Target, or Amazon
and they have icons that can range from cookware to toys the icon is identified and then the person can click onthe thumbnail image of their choice and browse through the website from the image they selected.

Also he described how icons don't always mean the same thing as he explained a the mouse
for the computer how it can change from a pointer, to a plus sign, to a hand that changes shape
everytime it is used depending on the website being accessed. Alot of things either go into cycles
or is recylced, and even renamed, The Binary system name and function is still the same, it is
just being used in a different way, for a different time. for the same purpose to transfer
information, and to make it identifiable with the People, Objects, and Icons of the Age.
