Hello everyone, I hope this segment was as informational to you all as it was to me! When I first began going through this section of the course, it seemed as though we were just going to be talking about simple WIFI networks, and LAN networks, which I was already familiar with. Luckily, it got much deeper than that. At my work we have a couple different servers that we run off of. These two servers are what keeps the company moving at our office, and on the road. Before this lecture, I knew how to access information through them, and use them lightly, but I did not know inner workings of our systems.
Most people at this time know what a wireless network is, and how it works. But knowing all the different safety features, and how WIFI has evolved gives you a much better appreciation for it.

This article from "Imran's Cellular Everything" goes over many different facts about WIFI and its capabilities.
This diagram shows how most households utilize WIFI, or 802.11. Systems such as Playstation 3's, XBOX 360's, and WII's have become commonplace in almost all homes in the United States. All three of these systems have wireless capabilities, which makes it much easier to connect them to the internet. Some of technologies that have come about recently that make good use of WIFI are tablets, blu-ray players that have integrated WIFI, and small handheld gaming systems.
Overall, the advancements that have been made for the internet have made it many time easier, and more efficient since its beginning. The reduction of wires, and the increasing speed at which we can surf the web is would be mind boggling for its inventors to even dream of.
Thank you for reading, Austin
