During this weeks class, we read A Mind at Play by Soni and Goodman. We also had to watch a few videos on the internet and it’s history.
This directly related to what was discussed in class this week as well. We talked a lot about the internet and it’s origins, as well as the origins of radio and television.
As I have grown up with TV and radio, and often have been able to see first-hand the changes those mediums have undergone, what interested me the most was the development of the internet.
We often don’t realize what we are typing or using while on the internet. “HTTP” for example, is one of those things being that it is actually an acronym for “Hypertext Transfer Protocol.” In the internet becoming more and more common, it’s incredibly easy to forget those facts about it’s origins.
