Week 9: Clear/How to Use the Internet

This week in class we learned how to navigate the web and how to use it. This is a topic I feel very comfortable with because I use the web so often in my every day life. I use it for my own interest, school, work and research with news portals, social networks, etc. I pretty much turn to it for anything I need, as do many people around the world. I believe the four step process to view a website we reviewed in class was the most interesting part of the lectures this week. I am amazed at how fast computers work now and are able to access the internet in a heartbeat. Another topic we focused on was the parts of a web address: 

• protocol
• domain name
• TLD
• path
• file name.

I believe this was an important topic because the internet is so prevalent in our everyday lives, especially in the business world today. Knowing how it works could benefit us in the long run and give us a step up on the competition. To learn more about the history of the internet click here.
