Class Day 4

For homework, we had to listen to the two podcasts on how the internet works.  These podcasts were loaded with information about this history of the internet.  Much of the information was technical and I honestly didn’t quite understand all of it.  When I thought I was beginning to understand what it was talking about, I heard something else that threw me off.  During class, we had a work sheet and were asked to write down definitions of as many of the words that we could remember which were in the podcasts.  When I saw the sheet, apparently much of what I thought I understood, I could not write down.  I knew that I had heard of them, but coming up with a clear definition was hard to do.   After class, I had a better understand on how many of the words are related and what purposed they served.  However, I think that if I am not surrounded by the technological jargon on a daily basis, I will again forget.  I believe this information is very valuable to have when going into a job setting.  I do not know how many people fully understand how the internet works or other new facets of internet use.  Having this knowledge will be beneficial as I would be able to help others make the most of their efforts in either projects or presentations.
