Hontou desu ka? |
Aside from the near-obvious fact that this course teaches us about the origins and use of the internet, I feel that being in this class has really opened my eyes to the wonders of the modern world. How a top-secret government project could be transformed to a global phenomenon, connecting people from all parts of the world together almost instantaneously.
I also learnt that like most people, I have taken the internet for granted. True, I was born in the dial-up link era, but still i had access to decent internet connectivity. We all think that the internet is an inherent right for now, but what if it hadn't been invented? I bet my bottom dollar half of the inventory you currently have wouldn't even exist right now.
SO lets end this chapter with a thought: would we as a species progress further with the innovations of the internet, or regress into the Stone Age?
I bid you adieu.
