Week 11

There was no tutorial for week 11, which meant no quiz. This was fantastic. Not that I hate the course, but it makes a week much easier when you don't have to wake up early for a class.

What we learnt this week had to do with networks and work. The history of the internet is fascinating because of the behemoth that it has become today. It's really something that you can now access in pretty much every corner of the world, and it has changed the way modern humans have lived their lives. In many ways, our lives have become easier as a result of the internet, but an argument could be made that our lives have become more complicated as a result.

When learning about work, it became important to compare life without computers and life with them. Similarly to the internet, the use of computers has expanded to the point that in almost any country, you will find that a lot of what is being used is operated by machines.

An assignment is due next week. So far, my group has been able to do about half of it. We're looking to get this done soon.
