Assignment 1

2nd Generation Web Sites

Department of Energy

The U.S. Department of Energy National Nuclear Security Administration web site, while modern, uses a no-nonsense business approach.  There are link menus under link menus.  I believe this is a 2nd generation working web site.

 

Los Alamos National Laboratory

Although the Los Alamos National Laboratory's web page contains pictures, a few icon related links, and the time and temperature, I still believe this is a 2nd generation web page.  Again, 90% of the links are simple text menu links with other menu links lower in the hierarchy.

 

3rd Generation Web Sites

Jeopardy

The Jeopardy web page is quite interactive.  From the home page you can download screensavers, take virtual tours, play trivia and jeopardy, and apply to be a contestant on the show.  The page uses frames, icons, and text links to move people through the web site. 

 

Pixar

This site puzzled me.  I feel that due to their position in the animation field that their site should be state-of-the-art.  However, other than the movie shorts, trailers, etc., I found it rather bland and lumpy to maneuver through.  I still believe however that this is a 3rd generation web site.
