Animated GIFs

10 Minute Read: Read this article about Animated GIFs from Wired magazine. I know how you kiddos love to uploadand embed animated GIFs of dancing chickens and blinking hearts on your profile pages . This article gives some background on the animated GIF, which is especially interesting since it is relevant to your work in Globaloria. Leave me a comment when you finish reading the article. If reading this article makes you want to create a new Flash animation to upload to your wiki, that is fine, as long as it doesn't take the entire class period. Thanks and have a great day.

  1. I'm surprised that GIFs were invented so early on in filmatography, but they are an influential part of the internet nowadays, so it's not a big surprise that they had an early start.

  2. I didn't know that GIFs started that early... That's pretty interesting to see that they have come a long way. I also believe that when searching for a GIF that represents your emotion is, it is pretty artistic. To be honest, I hardly knew what GIF was until Tumblr.

  3. I think it is interesting that GIFs were made at an earlier time. I never knew that and I think that GIFs are really cool since you can display anything on it and express your emotions or just make something funny.

  4. I had no idea that GIFs were invented long long time ago, it's awesome that they're still growing. I think that the GIF's purpose is to entertain people with funny movie scenes or with funny segments of a video which most of the characters are well known as memes.

  6. Wow. I never even put in thought about you was the first person to make a GIF. He must have been a real open minded man to think about this and actually make it happen. I'm amazed.

  7. The article was very interesting, and I for one thought that Gifs were made by some random person that came up with the idea of replaying a short video that was supposed to be for fun or something. But this article cleared up my mind, its not a bad thing but its interesting how Gifs came to be... . . . . . . . (Potato)

  63. Wow ! I didn't know that GIF's were that old , I thought they had made them like in 2010 or something . I'm still kind of in a shock 1879 that's a long time ago .It's cool how GIF's are still around today , and how there getting more and more popular from a single horse gallop to two little boys dancing in the middle of there living room . How great are GIF's . . . Very !

  64. I had no idea that GIFs were created so long ago! It seems like there is definitely a craving for animated GIFs in the media, and over the whole internet, as of late. I think that being able to take a single moment in time, and loop it over and over again is the most wonderful thing I've seen. There could be thousands of applications, and each would be equally amazing. I don't think people realize how important technology is, and how lucky we are to have the things we do, tools that allow us to help shape the world. Because that's exactly what technology is, the world's greatest tool.
