Week Seven Muddiest Thought

I was just wondering, is it possible for the Internet to fill up? Will it one day reach a 'full-capacity' if outdated or redundant information isnt removed?

Reading Notes Eight

Even though I have virtually no interest in the material discussed I thought the w3schools article was very clear and concise especially if you wish to start learning html. But even if you dont want to learn to write it, the article explains it in easy to comprehend language. The second article html cheatsheet brought back nightmares to me of a visual basic class I took in community college. I hate this stuff!!! Then we have the css article by w3schools...more of the terror. Again it was written in easy to understand lingo but still equally as terrible. The Beyond HTML article was the only article out of the 4 that had real substance to it. It talked about Georgia State University Library and its attempt to build a CMS research guide. Although not exciting per se this article was informative.

Week Six Muddiest Thought

Im al little confused, let's say for example I'm using a neighbors unsecured wireless internet. Do the websites that I visit recognize my IP address or the person who is actually paying for the wireless conection? By using someone elses wireless network does that make my IP address invisible or disguise it as the user who is actually paying for the internet connection?

Reading Notes Seven

The first article, How Stuff Works, seems to be an extension of sorts of the network articles we read last week They provided me with some general understanding of how the Internet works. I gained a greater understanding about routers, in fact that made the most sense to me in this article. I did find it interesting that each time someone logs on using dial-up they do so using a different IP address each time. Seems to me this would make online stalking or fraud much harder to detect this way. Perhaps I dont full understand though.
The other article, Dismantling Integrated Library Systems, contained some interesting information but you had to read between the lines of incessant complaining to glean anything from it. I know that integrated systems are very much needed in a time where we are shifting from print based information to electronic based systems. A way to make these systems compatible with one another is the only resolution and I can see why libraries are upset about having to come up with the money to pay for said systems. Afterall they didnt have any say so in the fact changing technology forced the creation of these types of systems.
I really liked the Google video. I thought the thing they showed of the world and all the searches going on was awesome. It shows how around the globe we all potentially have something in common and it shows what a monster Google has grown into. That picture of them on the ski trip was hilarious. I had Google desktop before we had to download it for this class and I love it. I use it CONSTANTLY!
