Project 3: The Internet

Our website includes a section dedicated to Hedy Lamarr, an actress and inventor whose groundbreaking work in frequency-hopping spread spectrum laid the foundation for modern technologies like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS. We wanted to highlight how innovation often comes from unexpected places and how her contributions demonstrate the connection between creativity and engineering.

Another part of our project explores useful Unix tools-cat, grep, and sed. These commands allow users to view, search, and edit text directly from the command line, showing how efficient scripting and automation can be in managing files and analyzing data. Our video demonstration walks through real examples of these tools in action and how they simplify everyday computing tasks.

Our final topic goes over UNIX Permission Settings. UNIX Permission Settings control who has access to read, write, and execute files and directories within a network. Permission settings can allow or limit access to users, firegroups, or others and can be expressed through either symbolic, 3-bit, or octal representation.
