5a Post: (Javascript and MySpace)

Brittany Robinson - March 2, 2023 1 Comment

Javascript is a scripting language use to create dynamic content for the web (including websites, applications, servers, and games) and is considered one of the core technologies of the internet (A., 2023). Most websites on the internet use Javascript. When I think of Javascript, I always think of Myspace. If you had a Myspace account when it was popular in the early 00s, you know what actually what I’m talking about. For anyone who may not know, Myspace was a social media website where you could customize your profile by adding themes to your page. You could also add music to your page. To do so you had to do some coding. You would find codes and edit them for it to work. We were all coding without realizing it. I always think about how cool it was customizing my page that way when I was thirteen years old. I can’t imagine coding for a career though. But it was nice to get some insight into coding.

    Hey Brittany! I have to say, your blog post is my favorite so far because it made me feel so nostalgic! I had myspace as well(a long time ago haha) and I didn’t even realize I was doing some coding back in the day! I didn’t even think it was coding because I would have so much fun with it! Thank you so much for presenting your information in a way where I could personally connect to it as well!
