Before coming to the MPI104 class i had a very vague idea of how the internet worked, and the potential that it had hidden away. I had a rather distorted idea that the internet was made up by absolute geniuses, who spent hours on end unlocking the mysteries of the world wide web. When in fact i have been studying this subject for about 10 weeks or so and I’m already being to understand how web pages are put together, and how they can be built piece by piece using small pieces of code. It took me awhile to get my head around the face that each single piece of code is unique and stands for a certain reason, and that I just one small piece is missing then huge pieces of the puzzle go missing.
By playing around with a number of different applications, such as flickr, delicious and blogger, has giving me a huge perspective on their different features. With my flickr account i have really enjoyed working out to put photos up and tag and group them. But my favourite part is being able to join heaps of groups such by searching for them. There are so many interesting images of flickr too, you can pretty much search for any image you want and you will find something close to it. Blogger was one of the coolest tools iv used, as iv felt what its like to have a presents on the internet, where i can write whatever i want. The delicious account i had was rather interesting, i got to look out how delicious works and the applications that come with presenting things, out of all three my favourite would have to be a tie between flickr and blogger, and I’m sure i will continue to practise making links and trying to understand the more as i continue at university.
