Week 7
Internet Regulation
The internet is a worldwide network of computer networks that use certain network protocols to
enable data transmission and exchange, where anyone with a computer can access the internet through an
ISP (internet service provider). Internet regulation is basically restricting or controlling access to certain
aspects or information. Internet regulation consists of mainly two categories: Censorship of data, and
controlling aspects of the Internet.
Internet Governance
Internet governance is the development and application of shared principles, norms, rules,
decision-making procedures, and programs that shape the evolution and use of the Internet. The internet is
currently governed and some people disagree with this. They think that they should be able to do what
they please on the internet without it being governed.
Week 8
EdX
EdX is a website that offers free college level courses from the two of the top universities,
Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. It features learning designed
specifically for interactive study via the web. This could be helpful to people that want to learn more just
to learn, it doesn’t count as any credits but it could help people’s knowledge about some college courses.
IP Address
An Internet Protocol address is a numerical label assigned to each device joining in a computer
network that uses the Internet Protocol for communication. This is necessary for us to be able to
communicate with these devices and makes it easier to identify them.
Week 9
IPv6
IPv6 stands for Internet Protocol Version 6 and it is the latest revision of the Internet protocols.
The old one was called IPv4 and they needed a new version because IPv4 was running out of address for
the Internet.
Net Neutrality
Network neutrality is standard law that advocates government regulation of Internet service
providers preventing ISPs from restricting consumers' access to networks that participate in the Internet.
Network neutrality mainly prevents restrictions on certain content, sites, types of equipment and modes of
communication.
Week 10
Windows 8
Windows 8 is the new release of software for personal computers but out by Microsoft. Windows 8
introduces significant changes to the operating system's platform, primarily focused towards
improving its user experience on mobile devices such as tablets to rival other mobile operating
devices.
ANS
A routing autonomous system is a collection of connected internet protocol routing prefixes
under the control of one or more network operators that presents a common, clearly defined
routing policy to the Internet. This is helpful for identifying each network on the internet.
Week 11
Privacy
Internet privacy involves the right of personal privacy concerning the storing, altering,
providing to third-parties, and displaying of information pertaining to oneself via the internet.
This is a right, but unfortunately there is no way to be certain that your information is used
otherwise, so anyone has to be careful what they put on the internet.
Border Gateway Protocol
Border Gateway Protocol is the procedure which makes essential routing decisions on the
internet. It maintains a table of IP networks or 'prefixes' which designate network reach-ability
among autonomous system.
