Here it is, lucky post number three.
Moving on,
The main goal of chapter two is to introduce us to communications, networks, the Internet, and the World Wide Web; which is the title of the chapter which we all read, so I didn't really have to type it. C'est la vie. The first section of the chapter serves to introduce us to technologies we're already familiar with; such as E-mail, voice mail, facsimile (more commonly known as "fax"), telecommuting, online services (www.eharmony.com, anybody?), video-conferencing (funny video about video-conferencing), and the Internet.
The text goes on to describe several more technologies such as a local area network which is a communications network that covers a limited geographical area. For instance, class-room buildings at FSU utilize the LAN technology, while the campus uses the wide area network technology which uses regular telephone cables, digital lines, microwaves, wireless systems and satellites. These networks offer many benefits such that at schools, administrators, teachers and students can share computer hardware, software, and data resources.
The rest of the chapter explains the Internet, how it works, what the World Wide Web is, how a web page works, and other internet services. I can see how this part of the chapter would be relevant to society if we still lived in the mid-'90s, but we don't. I did, however find "netiquette" quite funny.
BTW this class makes me :(, FWIW I'd rather :'(.

I really like how you used what you learned from the chapter in using the netiquettes. Good job.
Good Job on your blog. Well written and covers the topics discussed in the chapter very well.
