Did you ever wonder how the Internet works? Why and how it came into existence? This course will explain how the internet as we know it today evolved from telephone lines and modems, to how it functions to support things like webpages, online banking, Facebook, online searching, email, etc. How does it recover if parts of it fail? What are the strengths and weaknesses? And where is it heading? And, no technical background is needed!
