My Statement of Purpose: Network Computing

The internet has revolutionized the modern world like no other invention has before, except perhaps, electricity. The internet allows sharing and collaboration to take place between people on opposite sides of the globe. Vinton G. Cerf, often called the “Father of the Internet”, admits that when the original idea of an “intranet” was in its infancy, there was no possible way to imagine all of the ways we would come to use it (NDTV, 2013).

I applied and got accepted into the program, and since then the program has taught me various skills and has given me multiple opportunities to advance in the computer networking field to help me pursue my career. Through the Cisco program I have learned how to read and write binary, hexadecimal since that it the language computers speak. I can also set up a small business network, use the CLI of a network device, and perform a physical and wireless connect network devices. The modern world is now becoming more of a technology based society, we are now starting to integrate technology into almost every and anything. That's also a concept I was taught in Cisco it's actually called the Internet of Things, which is basically just network devices that can communicate without human help. In the next 20 years according to the Internet of Things almost everything will have technology inside of it making it like a network device, like shirts, cars, lights and other everyday

We have come a long way from paper based systems through the use of a computer for efficient data processing. The creation of local area networks (LAN) all the way through opening channels for communication and knowledge sharing on a much larger scale. This is where the introduction to connecting LAN networks to the internet came about. The internet allows for seamless communication to take place virtually right around the world. Technology with the use of the internet has changed the way we

For the past semester i have been a student in the cisco networking academy. Every chapter we learn many new and important things. From the protocols that let computer talk to each other to how to physically install the cables that they use. In this essay I will explain what we learned chapter by chapter. So lets start of at the beging with chapter one.

The popularity of Internet has become ubiquitous and pervasive all over the world. The Internet plays a pivotal role in all walks of human life and has improved the quality of people life and has invaded all sectors like Governmental Organizations, Science and Technology, Business World, Industry and Education. In 1969, the Internet was originated by US Department of Defense (DoD) and Advanced Research Project (ARPANET) using Network Control Program (NCP). Research on packet switching communication methodology resulted in inter-networking of networks in 1981, when the researchers in Great Britain and Norway tried to collaborate with the researchers in US using Internet Protocol (IP). Realizing the importance and advantages of IP, the Internet

You will discover different network topologies and different types of networks: LANs, WANs, and internetworks (internets). The concept of switching is discussed to show how small networks can be combined to create larger ones. You will learn about the Internet: its early history, the birth of the Internet, and the issues related to the Internet today. This module covers standards and standards organizations.

contains the case narrative, related figures, and a set of questions and problems. These do not have one unique solution. There are too many alternatives when dealing with LANs, WANs, MANs, BNs, and the Internet, so a reallife network design and development problem can have several workable answers.

In conclusion, I hope I grasped the assignment, but this is what I want for the future of the internet. The future, starts with an idea, and then comes implementation. People with ideas are people who say that can, not that they can’t. Some of this stuff may sound crazy, but its 100% possible, and it’s my hope for our

The internet operates under what is called the “end-to-end principle.” This is where “features are implemented as close to the end points of the network as possible.”4 It is often described as a “dumb network.” Much like how a water system provides the same amount to all users through pipes regardless of what its used for, only the end user decides and controls how a “dumb network” is utilized. Some claim that this is a major reason that the internet was so successful. However, it is also pointed out that internet is already not “a level playing field,” because of the advantages of bigger companies who can afford more robust servers and high-bandwidth services.1

IT Systems and many other networking technologies have controlled a large section of our lives. A substantial amount of people rely on a form of these technologies in day to day life. Communication, transport, leisure, workplace, health and many other areas are now very reliant on these newer networking technologies.

When thinking about the Internet, one always appears to assume that the development of computer technology has been driven by a few giants of the industry. Indeed, we always assume that it is the big people that made it. And yet, the truth is very different. The authors show us how many of the developments surrounding the Internet were brought about with the support and often the leadership of the government. Indeed, it was the government funding that made a lot of these realities possible. Thus, this is basically a case study of what the development of networking achieved.

Perhaps one of the greatest inventions of out time is the Internet. Without a doubt, the net has had a profound effect on almost every aspect of our lives. The formation of the Internet has changed the way we do business, communicate, entertain, retrieve information, and even educate ourselves. Nevertheless, the Internet might have never materialized if it had not been for some innovated thinkers from the Advanced Research Project Agency, who created "ARPANET." In collaboration with several educational and research institutions, the agency created the packet-switching technologies that form the basis of the Internet today.
