This module I have learned a great deal of information. Many of the initials or abbreviations I hear on a daily basis now have meaning. There has been such an advance in technology since I purchased my first computer in the mid 90's. We had windows 3.1 and a POTS line. I fell I have a better understanding of how web sites are retrieved from there server to be displayed onto my computer, how the information is sent ans received, and why such a vast amount of information can interconnect. A few of the words I have learned are:
Base band - a single transmission line.
Portal - a gateway to a specific group of information such as yellow pages, weather, or sports.
Hot spot - a geographic location where there is a wireless connection(my home is a hot spot because of my wireless router).
During this module I found that I really need to set aside more time for the next module and plan ahead. I hope by the end of the next module I will have found a my grove. I like to be ahead of the game - not pulling it together(almost) at the last second.
