Unit 3: Exploring Topics Continued

Tools:

Out of the Four basic topics to choose from, I chose internet. On GVRL and on Wikipedia I focused more on the loading and storing of information and data.

Keywords/Ideas:

Here is a list of the common keywords or idea that I think of when looking up "Internet" are:
Access
Services
Cite
Web
Connection
Protocol
Input
Speed
Appropriation
Explorer
Database
Social Media
Marketing
Commercial
Network
Advertisement
Search
Information
History
Relational
International
Education
Technology

Questions:

I really wonder where is information stored that businesses or personal data stored on the internet?

How safe is posting on blogs or social media when nothing can truly ever be deleted?

Is anything ever gone from the internet?

Is there a capacity that the internet can hold, or is it an infinitely growing space?

Is my blog post ever going to be deleted after I select "Publish"?

  1. Hi, Brian:

    Thanks for updating and including the rest of the element of the assignment. You already identified how you might use each of the resources we explored. Your questions are pretty interesting given how much of our lives are now spent online.

    Cheers,
    Andrea
