Conclusion to the Internet

Learning is a journey that never ends, and I have to say the COM125 module has been more than just an introduction to the internet, it has moved me along significantly in terms of the journey of learning about it. The internet is a big part of our generation, to our parents, it may have been more of an acquaintance, but to us it is practically family.

We might use the internet a lot, but it is usually for the usual few things like social media sites and entertainment or news sites. We are scratching the surface of a limitless world. There is no physical space to it, and everyday humans around the world log on and add more to it. This module helped to get a little deeper, and to let us see the bigger picture. 

The internet affects the whole WORLD,

EVERYTHING

I thoroughly enjoyed learning and discussing how things that have been around for so long, have been transformed by the arrival of the internet. Journalism, politics, education and businesses are all so dynamic, and the internet has brought something significant to each and every one of them. The internet has changed the way things work and how people think and view the world.

More big changes will come our way

As this is the concluding post, I thought I'd include some interesting infographics about the internet, and its current user's habits.

How time is spent on the Internet

Class

We watched many videos in class about a range of topics, some more interesting than others. Regardless, I took something from every video, even if it was something I already knew, there were always some facts I missed out that the videos had.

I knew the internet was big, but this module has taught me that it has no shape, and it can keep getting bigger and bigger, with no end in sight.

Regrettably, our COM125 adventure ends here, but my internet journey has barely begun.

Cheers Mr Choy.
