For someone who spends their whole life on the internet, I really know nothing about it. I always found it weird how in high school the wifi restricted what we could or could not access, but I never really thought much of it. Now I have learned in class the difference between internet and intranet. Originally the internet was used to survive warfare, and now its almost a basic human need. The internet can go anywhere. My dad would even make the case that I over use the internet because I run out of the 10gigabytes my family and I share every month. Furthermore, there is also the intranet, which I never knew was a thing until this class. It is crazy that schools and businesses can control what information you have access to. Controlled information is something I know is necessary, but have a hard time sitting with. I feel like education should be free, and that comes along with access to information and being able to find the answers to any questions you might have.

I am really impresses with how some of the tools we use today are made. I think this is because I would have never thought of and it would have never occurred to me how to create things out of nothing. Creativity is definitely something I value but don’t feel like I have a lot of, so the fact that people can use their imagination and use that power to create something for general use  is very impressive.

To tie this all together, I think that what we discussed in class about how “nobody produces good work alone” is really insightful. The internet allows us to add on and critique and come up with ideas and share them with the world. We have come so far since the beginnings of the internet. Furthermore, I will probably never fully understand how the internet works will all the wireless and towers and things, but I am never less impressed that it does.
