Internet has been part of my life for more than decade, I
didn't really think about the basic structures. The instantaneous information
from the internet used to be a luxury during modem dial ups; with fiber optics
it is common. When I read about fiber optics... I recall reading the articles
about companies putting in fiber optics lines on the properties. In spite of
the damages, evidently fiber optics is widely used all over the country. It is
quite a vast linking of the servers and networks. Some of these articles were horrific due to
the costs in the damages. By then, we've become more interconnected thanks to
fiber optics. The lecture about Google was really fascinating- their picture of
globe with colors representing languages in Google search. 20 percent of its
time to focus on the small projects was quite interesting, something to think
about as librarian. Google books are one of their projects. Educause website
had praises for their project. Their project represented a step in rapid
changing technology. It would have been nice to read about the opposition
against this project.
