Com 125 stands for the module for the "Introduction to the Internet" My reflections on this first week of class is as follows…
Honestly, when i first looked at what i am signed up for in fall 2014 semester, I was shocked to see this module. I guess at that point in time, complacency comes in as with the modern world that we are living in now, we are always in touch with technology. For example, through smart phones and tablets. Even the television is now internet enabled, the Smart Tv! Hence, with such situations, it did crossed my mind that we already know enough of the internet to not have a need to take this course. Especially when it is named as the "INTRODUCTION" to the internet. I thought that if there is really a need for this, we should learn something like "a deeper look" into the internet.
However,after the first week of class, I realised that I did learn something from this class.These things are mainly things that i had taken for granted without ever questioning it, such as the protocols for example, as i only know the acronyms without knowing the full term for it.
it is also interesting to see how the web have evolved from the static in Web 1.0 to the interactive and ability for content changing in Web 2.0. Plus, the prediction of how the future web will be is actually quite exciting :) Hence, i guess this module isn't as bad as i thought it will be :)
