Hello world,<\/p>\n
So I’m still not completely sure what kind of stuff I’m supposed to write about in my blog but here we go!\u00a0I finally finished the readings that we were supposed to do before class on Wednesday and I found the history of the Internet\u00a0to be very interesting. I’m so used to the Internet being the way it is now, and I can’t imagine life without our high-tech devices that can process billions of commands\u00a0in seconds. It was hard for me to see\u00a0pictures of the giant, cumbersome machines in the “olden days” and realize that they were the predecessors of the MacBook that I am using right now. So much has\u00a0been accomplished in this relatively short time period–the grind must have been so real.<\/p>\n
It is also weird to picture\u00a0that everything had to be physically connected, and that debugging required physical re-wiring. No devices were compatible with each other, so I can’t even imagine the frustration that people felt because when I can’t AirDrop pictures onto my iPhone from an Android, I already get pretty irked. From the readings, one thing that really struck me was the work ethic and dedication of all the people who were working on this huge project. The troubles regarding\u00a0teamwork and making sure people were on the same page must have been so difficult\u00a0because there was no Internet to share ideas and documents.<\/p>\n
I have a faint memory in my childhood when my family had one big ugly-looking desktop computer in my bedroom, and all of us had to share it. I never used the Internet on that machine; I played this Hello Kitty game on it by inserting a CD into it. Now my MacBook doesn’t even have a place to insert CDs. This really shows me how much technologies have changed in such a short span of time. But I think a lot of\u00a0modern day changes\u00a0are just being used for profit, like how Apple always makes something incompatible so you have to buy more Apple products boooo. Anyways, I don’t know if this is enough writing but I am done.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
