Google Day 2

Goals for today
1: learn what is gifs
2: How can I create a gif
3: Find the history of how gifs were created and how they have impacted society.

Helpful links and information: 
Gif stands for: Graphics Interchange Form.
The format of a gif supports up to 8 bits per pixel allowing a single image to reference a palette of up to 256 distinct colors. The color limitation makes the gif format unsuitable for reproducing color photographs and other images with continuous color, but it is well-suited for simpler images such as graphics or logos with solid areas of color.
Gif images are compressed using the  Lempel-Ziv-Welch loss less data compression, a technique to reduce the file size without degrading the visual quality. This compression technique was patented in 1985.

Another definition for gifs is: Animated gifs contain a series of images or frames that are displayed one after the other and give a semblance of animation, just as in traditional animation techniques. Also, in animated gifs you can control the time for which each frame is displayed.

How can I create a Gif?
Animated gifs can be created or modified using any of the freeware or shareware available. The program comes bundled with Paint Shop Pro. Most animation programs have many built in effects for images. http://www.webdevelopersnotes.com/graphics/gifs_animated.php3

It is not great but in the website: I created a  some gifs.
I need to improve more and make better ones in different ways but this is my gifs.
