I can remember when I took a class years ago at WSU and the e-mail feature had just come out.  Our assignment was to send an e-mail to the teacher to see if we could do it.  I remember the steps that you had to go through just to send an e-mail and now I can't imagine living with out it. So after taking this class and exploring all of the different ways to get and receive information makes one reflect on just how far we have come!
They keep improving on the web and on social media for that matter, and I wonder what else can they possibly do to improve but they always create something.   Just the complexity of writing the code to get a browser to come up and everything you look at has code behind it is incredible.  So  just by doing the "web page" assignment gave me a real sense of how much time and work has gone in to this form of communication.
Has my understanding of the internet, web, and how information gets from point A to point B improved?  Yes it has and I have a deeper appreciation for how it all works and is put together.  I know the last 20 years there has been leaps and bounds so it will be interesting to see what will they come up with next?  To be continued ......
