Blog 6: Web Technologies
While many people regard the internet as a single entity that is incomprehensible, we as computer scientists understand that it is actually made up of lots of underlying technologies and systems all combined together to bring life to the internet. Choose a technology related to the internet and tell us more about it. Try to think outside the box and find a technology no one else will write about. Here are some questions to ask yourself as you research it:
- Where did it come from?
- Who created it? When did they create it?
- What was it originally created for? Is that how it is used today?
- Are there any other related technologies?
- How is it used today? How does it work?
- Are there any privacy or security issues with this technology?
