The document discusses different definitions of what it means to be a "geek". It notes that geeks have a strong interest in technology and computing, though not all are expert hackers. It also discusses how having a strong passion and dedication to technology fields like engineering can lead to high-paying careers, with some examples of CEOs in technology making billions of dollars. The document encourages developing skills in areas like networking, operating systems, and getting certified in technologies like Cisco or Microsoft products.
The Internet grew out of US efforts to build the ARPANET, a network of peer computers built during the cold war. The two major players were military and academia. The network was simple and required no efforts for security or social responsibility. The early Internet community was mainly highly educated and respectable scientist. In the early 1990s the World Wide Web, a hypertext system is introduced, and soon browsers start to appear, leading the commercialization of Net. New businesses emerge and a technology boom known as the dot-com era.
The network, now over 40, is being stretched. Problems such as spam, viruses, antisocial behaviour, and demands for more content are prompting reinvention of the Net and threatening its neutrality. Add to this government efforts to regulate and limit the network.
In this lecture we look at the Internet and the impact of the network. We will also look at the future of the Internet.

The newest buzzword after Big Data is AI. From Google search to Facebook messenger bots, AI is also everywhere.
• Machine learning has gone mainstream. Organizations are trying to build competitive advantage with AI and Big Data.
• But, what does it take to build Machine Learning applications? Beyond the unicorn data scientists and PhDs, how do you build on your big data architecture and apply Machine Learning to what you do?
• This talk will discuss technical options to implement machine learning on big data architectures and how to move forward.

Last week, we looked at searching the Internet, fair use, copyright, and plagiarism. This week, we
will take a deeper look at the Internet, or, the Web of Knowledge (Bowles, 2013) as described by
the author of our textbook. We will look “under the covers” so to speak, to see how the Internet
came to be what it is today and look at some of the key technologies that contribute to this
success.
The History of the Internet
What is the Internet? In simple terms, the Internet is a backbone, if you will, that allows millions of
computers to connect and communicate. This backbone provides hardware and software
protocols (rules) by which computers and servers exchange information. Needless to say, it is
much more complex than this simple explanation. Let’s examine some of the history of the
Internet’s development into what it is today.
In its earliest incarnations, the Internet was envisioned as a way for computer laboratories to
connect and share resources and was supported through the Department of Defense (Bowles,
2013). The first Internet was known as DARPA (Defense Departments Advanced Research
Projects Agency) and was later shortened to ARPAnet. The original mission of ARPAnet was to
help the United States prepare for nuclear attack, but when the cold war ended, the amazing
result was the ability for computers and networks to connect and communicate from anywhere.
The importance of developing this network of computers cannot be understated. This
development led to standardizing communication and transmission protocols that have evolved to
the standards acknowledged today by everyone connected to the Internet.
When you explore Chapter 5, you will learn how data is routed around the Internet through the use
of packets and how packets are formed to create a message. These packets are routed around
the Internet via nodes to arrive at their destination, your computer. Proper routing is a result of
protocols (rules). And finally, modems are required to move the information along its path.
For more information on the history of the Internet, I recommend that you visit the Internet Society.
They provide a pretty good look at some of the historical events that have brought us to where we
are today.
Security, Privacy, and Your Identity in the Digital World
With access and connectivity to the Internet ubiquitous, we are faced with many challenges. Now
more than ever, we are not only consumers of Internet content, but creators as well. We post our
status on Facebook, our vacation videos on YouTube, our photos on Instagram or any number of
social sharing sites, and even our resumes on LinkedIn. As we become more digitally active, we
gain a significant “digital footprint”. It’s more important than ever to be aware of the many ways in
which one must protect themselves and their digital identity.
The first line of defens.
