Muddiest point (Week 5):
If ASCII stands for American Standard Code Information Interchange, what does the rest of the world use? I was assuming it was ASCII as well since it might get extremely confusing trying to communicate with several different standards, at least confusing for the respective machines anyway.
Thoughts on Readings for week 6:
At the moment I am currently working in the IT Unit at my internship at the Ellwood Group Inc. headquartered in New Castle, PA. Therefore, as I was reading the articles I can relate to and appreciate each and every network that has been developed. I mean lets face it, without LAN's and WAN's etc, there is no internet, and life right now would be very very different if they had not been invented. We would basically still be living in the 70's, no questions asked. I think the coolest of the networks are that of the Personal Area Networks. How neat is it that us as a person, can have our own little network set up around us within about a 20 foot circle. You may not think about how your Bluetooth headset communicates with your phone, or how you communicate with your laptop via bluetooth (nor do we have too), but the PAN technology is the answer. I bet there are alot of soldiers who appreciate having a personal area network in the field for laptops, information, and headsets. Overall, networks in general are becoming faster and faster and I'm not sure there is an end in sight. Then again we could still be using Dial-Up to connect to the internet if not for developments over the past 20 years, so who really cares if there is an end in sight anyway??

the rest of world use unicode for their languages.
BTW, if the TA miss something in their grades, please email them rather than just post in the blog. They actually read your blog every week, but it would be quicker to email them directly
