The lesson for this week is about the internet!We learned everything about the
internet itself, what it is, what it's used for and who came up with this wonderful tool. At first, the internet was just a project of the Department of Defense of the United States. The main goal was to create an indestructible network where scientists from around the world could share information and collaborate in research and investigations from afar. We also learned that World Wide Web and Internet are NOT SYNONYMS! The internet is a big big network, the world wide web fall into the internet as one smaller web that gives you access to information and the ability to share it too. It was cool to learn how these two are different and how they both work.
As always, we had a quiz on this and we also had an assignment which was a little different than before. In the assignment we had to compare two softwares used to communicate via video chat. One is called Anymeeting and the focus of this one is to convey professional meetings or conferences with colleagues of whatever field you're in. The other software was Google Hangouts; now, this software is much more recognized than the one mentioned above. This is a very simple software that is used to communicate in a more casual way with family and friends. it was pretty simple to compare them both, although they both offer video chat, they are both useful in different contexts. On a professional context where you need to hold a meeting with some colleagues or your boss, use Anymeeting. If you're just looking to casually communicate with family or friends, Hangouts is the way to go.
It was pretty cool to do this assignment. Here are some screenshots I took to compare them.
