The pieces of the internet:
- If connected to the internet then that computer is just a single piece within a larger network of millions of computers
- When the computer connects it is though a ISP (internet service provider)
- There is no one entity that controls the network, rather a group networks that are of a higher level
- NAP - network access points
- at the network access points all other computers connect with the higher levels computers and thus are all interconnected
- Routers help your computer to communicate with others; they do this by figuring out where to send the information
- Routers are like a bridge that connect one computer to another
- What is referred to as the backbone is the physical representative on this network - the cables
Google video notes:
- The graphic of the dots of lights that indicate Google searches is impressive, it makes real how many of us really use Google at any given moment in a day
- The globalization of the world through Google is amazing
- The one second slide- again how amazing to see how much we rely on Google services. Not only just on Google but if we look at in the most simplistic terms, Google is just one avenue people you to access information and look how often it is implemented in a second.....that is A LOT of information being accessed through just one search engine.
