Introduction to Unit 1

Unit 1 is about aiding you to understand Technology and the processes behind the Internet and everything in the middle. Learning about online communication and online services such as outlook and WhatsApp, how they work and their differences. Here is an example of what I learned, the internet means an interconnected network of computers, this means that the internet is not the cloud, but a lot of wires called backbones run under the sea from one continent to another.

Learning Goal 1

The learning goals of Unit 1 are investigating online communications, online services and the components of the internet and how digital devices exchange and store information and investigating issues with operating online. These are the three learning goals of unit 1 they are based around ubiquitous computing. Ubiquitous computing is a fancy way of saying the internet of things, this is everything having a computer built in such as smart fridges. Also, these leaning goals are teaching you to investigate each of these areas this implies that you will be doing research into the internet, online services, and online communications.
