Spurred on equally by the evolution of commercial image processing, the demands for multi-media documents, and the explosive growth of the WWW1, applications now abound which are, essentially, integrated media processors. Some are described as "page layout" programs, others as "presentation graphics" software. All are intended to incorporate into a single program the tools needed to manipulate and coordinate text, images, and even sounds.

If you have access to such a program, you can use it to accomplish the tasks below. If not, don't worry. Modern word and image processors have been expanding towards each others' domains for years now. You can include (or, "import") images into word processing documents as easily as you can add text to an image. So, the exercise below can be accomplished using any combination of applications that you have at your disposal.

  1. Pick any page from the Analytical Engine text that contains both text and graphics. Use your application programs to recreate the page as nearly as you can. Save the resulting document as a file.

  2. Pick any WWW page that you have come across that contains interesting text and graphics. Use your application programs to recreate that page as nearly as you can. It is permissible to download or otherwise copy any complex images.
