The way that you describe HTML is so interesting because it’s so succinct yet accurately captures what the markup language is. That applies for CSS as well.

I empathize with you in that I also haven’t ever thought about what a website might look like behind all the pretty stuff. Sure I’ve accidentally clicked the “Inspect” button on my laptop, but I’ve never stopped to think about what that reveals and what that means about the website. Technology is constantly evolving, and we must evolve with it to keep up with it or we’ll get left behind. That’s in part why I liked Stolley’s article: he says that lo-fi will outlast some of the more specialized systems we develop.

LOL! I don’t think I am ready to be bilingual either. I love love LOVE how you described HTML as the foundation of a house that you don’t see but you see the attributes of the house. These sentences make such a difference in my comprehension of HTML, you write, “HTML is the infrastructure that hold your glorious home together, but you don’t necessarily see it. Sure when you walk inside you can see your walls, maybe outlets, but that is kinda like seeing the text, or the chapter headings, or even the title.” This (no joke) helped me understand HTML better in my head, plus with the addition of saying CSS is the colors you paint with… WOW. I loved how you broke down such complicated languages and made it into simple ideas that make sense! Great post!

I totally agree with you—it’s fascinating to see how our understanding of the internet is evolving, and HTML really is the foundation of it all. Your analogy of HTML as the structure of a house is spot on! It’s so easy to overlook the underlying framework that supports everything we see online, but once we start to peel back the layers, it all becomes much clearer. Also, while I didn’t have all the context when it originally happened- the title did make me laugh! Great post!
