The chosen article discusses the contribution of an American computer scientist John McCarthy in developing computers and modern computer language architecture. He is famous as father of AI or artificial intelligence as he was the one who coined the term artificial intelligence. I have chosen this article as it provides a short description of the life and achievements of this world famous scientist in the field of computing and development of computer architecture.

This chosen article discusses about one famous personality, Linus Torvalds, the developer of Linux operating system, Linus programmed his own driver for floppy controller. I have chose this article as it talks about the development and the history behind the development of one of the widely used operating systems Linux.
In the year 1991, the Minix operating system is most widely used in the schools and University. The article says that Linus used the operating system Minix in his university life but did not considered the terminal emulator program in Misnix quite acceptable and therefore, e decided to code and develop a better terminal emulator for personal use.
Perhaps the most interesting aspect of this chosen article is that, Linus while developing a better terminal emulator for an existing operating system MINIX, developed a altogether new operating system Linux. This was a gradual process according to the article as Linus while coding for a terminal emulator got the idea of developing an altogether new and enhanced operating system.
I found this chosen article useful as it discussed in detail the idea behind the development of Linux operating system.

The chosen article discusses the evolution of the modern internet from an earlier network developed by the National Science Foundation. This network has been described as the driver of the growth of internet in its first period. I have chosen this article as it provided the detailed timeline and the evolvement of the national science foundation network or NSFNET. This network was mainly developed to link the computers that are no t connected to ARPANET. Therefore, this network was mainly developed for research purposes to provide a link for the supercomputers.
Perhaps the most interesting aspect of this chosen article is that, it discusses the use of NFSNET in high speed supercomputers to its commercial use as well. The NFSNET that was initially built had a network backbone of speed 56kbps, which is awfully slow in comparison to modern internet. Later this network was able to achieve a speed of 1.5 mbps aswell. According to the article, the military sponsored ARPNET was dissolved and replaced by the National Science Foundation Network.
I have found this resource helpful and useful as it provided a overview of National Science Foundation Network in details, which led the foundation of modern internet. In the year 1995 the national science foundation network again regained his roots and dissolved the commercial usage and limited the use of this network only for research purpose.
The chosen article gives an insight of a layer two data link protocol the token ring.

Only the node possesing the token is permitted to transfer a message because token contains all the details and information about the destination of the message.
I have found this article useful as it discussed in brief the protocol entire token ring protocol. The token ring protocol is rarely used now as the set up is very costly and the use of Ethernet provides a more cost effective solution as well.
