I feel like everything was quite clear as we've covered a little bit of everything that was discussed this week in previous weeks (or with security, will be discussing it in the future in depth). I was kind of confused as to the purpose of this weeks lesson due to that. The discussion was interesting, but that feels like it could easily replace this blogging assignment for the week.
This lesson really just tied all of the things we've been learning nicely together (networking, waves of computing, DNS, protocols, Etc.) and added some Internet history and specifics; which was very interesting. I did go online and delve deeper. I found out that Norway was the first to disconnect from and implement TCP/IP over SATNET. Apparently this was before but around the same time the ARPANET implemented TCP/IP.
The history I found is a very detailed timeline and can be found here.
I guess what this timeline made clear to me is that before and after the creation of the Internet through implementing TCP/IP, there were are a lot of hardwired network infrastructures that were set up. It showed me the scale of the Internet "hubs". These I suppose these are the vertebrae or centralized locations seen on the infographic in this weeks lesson.
