Week1 Journal

Hello, welcome to my blog. I will post my experience throughout this term and share my ideas and understanding related to internet marketing. Actually this is my first blog experience in my life, I believe after taking this class, I will know how to become a blogger and keep posting and recording my life in the future.

During the first week, I engaged with lots of interested materials related to internet that I never think about before. The most impressive material to me in this week is routing on the internet. Before reading this this article, I never think about how different information communicating with each other on the internet and how internet works on their route. I discovered that when I send email to other people, my information will connect to the internet through an internet service provider. And my email will break up into a series of packets to be sent out over the internet which build a lookup table. This lookup table will help my email to reach the destination.

I attached a interesting YouTube video here that I think can demonstrate the process of internet. 

I also discovered one of the ways that hackers work to gather people’s information. According to the “Routing on the Internet”,

“One very important thing to note about this process is that each node along a communication path can store and duplicate each packet that is received and sent on. All communication on the Internet can be intercepted without alerting the sender or recipient.”

Hackers can use this typical characteristic of internet to collect usernames and passwords. I guess this is one of the key reasons that why internet security always act as a significant problem and task for many companies or individual users.

I am eager to learn more interesting and helpful information related to internet market during the next nine weeks.
