yah for viruses

This week I learned about how to keep your PC safe from viruses. Thank goodness I have a mac. The most interesting thing about class this week was the 60 minutes video. The most disturbing thing was seeing peoples identities getting sold online. Identity theft is a real problem in this world, and I can now see why some one would want to get Identity theft insurance.

First Reflection

Hello All,
This is my first reflection on my Intro to web technology class at NCCC. So far I have learned what is expected of me in the class (attendance, gradeing, projects......). All that good first week of school information. I have also started learning some of the course material. We just did a class dicussion on a video about the future of technology. The assignment is that you watch the video and then have and online discussion about it. I was reading other peoples comments about it and they all found it to be extremely informative and fun. I felt the same way about it, however I had some negative comments about it as well. I want to spark some conversation and discussion so I am playing devils advocate by chalanging the video.

I found a specific website we learned about interesting, its called Webopedia.com, it has just about anything you might want to know about the internet.

five words I didnt know before:
1.Wiki
2.TCP/IP
3.protocol
4.host
5.ARPENET
