1st lesson

My first lesson in Infocomm in Term 2 was basically going through stuff about the history of the Internet, and creating a blog and introduction to blogging. So a few of the blogging sites are Ning, Blogger and wordpress. I used blogger because I already had an account in it, so it is easier to create a blog. So far through this lesson I already have a basic understanding of the history of Internet. So the Internet was for scientist at different locations to share information. Also, no one controls the Internet, it is a public network. There is also dial-up access to the Internet and a wireless connection. For the Internet you have to type in the domain name to access the a site. Each domain name has a unique IP address so every IP address will access a different site. A URL is a Uniform Resource Locator, it is a unique address for a webpage. A link is a different thing. It is a built-in connection to another webpage location.
Other than all these information, we also learned about different things like hits, animations, web-publishing, etc. The lesson was very informative and enriching for me
