Chapter #6
This is a chapter in the book I NEEDED to read terribly. Although I might understand how to use some of the great resources of the internet I should know how and what is happening to make that available to me. This chapter had a plethora of information on networks, cables, routers, transmissions, switches, gateways and much more. Some of it is still over my head the understanding I have gained is world beyond what i knew before the chapter. I didn't even know there were different types of networks! such as LAN for say a building, MAN for many buildings sharing in an area like a school, and WAN that could connect people on a network all over the world.
Virtual meetings and web conferencing are something I am greatly interested in and plan to push at my place of employment. This can step up company efficiency and take strain off the would be traveling employee.
Network security is another thing I just did not have a clue about but now have a vague understanding of what is going on. Moving forward in business with our internet reliance network security is only going to become more and more important.
