Lesson 1

This is my reflection and blog postings about my learning and take-offs from this lesson.

To summarize briefly, we were taught more detailed about the World Wide Web and its origins.

The internet was quite a modern idea. It first became functional in September 1969. Then, it had a mere 4 host nodes with were party that hosted a particular server. Despite such mere information, I was very amazed by the fact because I had never known that the internet originated like this. I was very surprised and a the same time dumbfounded. Just to close up this point, now more than 200 hundred million host nodes are present today.

Next we have also learnt about the overall control of the internet. What I have learnt was that the internet is not controlled by anyone but is more of a democratic ''society'' without a president. The public and media control the internet. So simply saying, everyone control's the internet.

These points are very easy compared to much more complicated things. Despite the simplicity of the points, I am personally very amazed by these things. I have never known such facts and feel very enlightened. I would never have guessed such facts from the internet if it was not for this lesson. Hence, I want to express gratitude as this lesson and greatly taught me and explained much more about the internet. I shall sign off here and hope that you will have a good day.
