Reflection on the first day of infocomm studies

Today's the first lesson on Infocomm Studies (IS). It was a bit quick as we were late for twenty minutes. SORRY MR. CHEONG! So we'll try our best not to be late the next time. Although the lesson was fast we were still able to learn what Mr. Cheong want us to know as the lessons are all posted online hence we are able to read them.
I learnt quite a bit of things from the slide shows Mr. Cheong had prepared for us.
I learnt that Internet was created to allow scientist at different locations to share information and it was created by Pentagon's Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA). We learnt that back in the past people use dial-up connection which is slow but inexpensive however people now uses Digital suscriber line (DSL), cable telephone Internet services (CATV), cable modem, fixed wireless, and satellite modems that are high-speed connection. In this lesson it also taught me that there are more than three web browser like opera and netscape as previously I thought there were only 3 which are internet explorer, safari and mozilla.
The slide shows also taught some of the basic things like 'What is a home page?' 'What is downloading?' ' What are links?' etc.
That's only half of the lesson, for the other half we learnt some more advanced stuff like the 9 basic types of web sites, the defination of a hit, animation, thumbnail, audio, virtual reality etc. sounds confusing right that's why I made a post up there called 'Some new things I learnt in detail' to show the things that are new to me.
Lastly the lesson concluded with NETIQUETTE which Mr. Cheong told us a golden rule: Treat others as you would like them to treat you.
That's my first day of IS see ya!
