Choosing to Keep Going (REFLECTION)

  

  I gained a deeper comprehension of the Internet's history and workings over this quarter. Studying the history of the World Wide Web, from Sputnik's launch to its creation, brought to light the cooperative efforts that built modern communication. I learned how different protocols, such HTTP and TCP/IP, allow for data transport and how crucial domain names are for using the internet. In addition, finding out about the contributions made by influential individuals like Marc Andreessen and the pioneers of Internet architecture provided insight on the breakthroughs that changed the face of the digital world.

Understanding the technical facets of networking protocols and how they affect Internet functionality was one of the biggest obstacles I had to overcome. The early complexity of the interaction between many protocols was daunting. In addition, when I tried to start a blog, I ran into mental difficulties. Even while I liked writing because it gave me a free forum for self-expression, there were moments when these challenges made it hard for me to get my ideas out.  

I looked for more resources, such as publications and online tutorials that broke down difficult ideas, to help me overcome these obstacles. I had conversations with classmates, which made my knowledge more clear. When I ran into creative blocks when blogging, I took pauses and looked into other subjects to get my creative juices back. Making graphic aids, such as timelines and charts.

I plan to further expand my understanding of Internet technology in the future by delving into more complex subjects. To improve my ability to work with others and apply what I've learned to real-world situations, I want to take part in group projects and conversations. I'll also continue to be interested in new technologies and how they might affect society, so I can stay up to date on this ever changing sector. I'll also concentrate on figuring out how to get beyond mental obstacles so that I may continue to love blogging and express myself.

we're in this together!
