Living in a Networked World: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

As is mentioned in the description, this blog is a component of CS408 taught by Ellen Hepp at UNH. This class, to quote from the syllabus, "surveys the fundamental technologies and practices that make up the internet and then asks you to examine the ramifications of using the technologies." As a millennial, I'm admittedly and undeniably glued to my phone and/or laptop (so much so that I've named them both, but that's a different story). I don't actually have a particularly impressive grasp of how the internet and devices I use to access the internet work, though, which is part of the reason I registered for this course. I look forward to learning more about the networked world I actively participate in through self-publishing on this blog, engaging in the class's discussion boards, and creating web pages using HTML5.
