Week # 9

Muddiest Point
As I look over the HTML markup language, it seems to have similiar characteristics (commands linked with english text)of visual basic. Are all computer language similiar?

Articles
I feel very intimidated trying to graps HTML language. It hasn't been a focus in the previous IT classes that I have taken. At this point I'm still trying to digest the articles.

Muddiest point
When a computer acts as a gateway or hub does it require a large amount of extra memory to run the many programs, or its just a regular computer?

Google clip
I enjoyed watch the film clip about Google. The globe was fascinating showing the number of web searches and the different language represented. The line went along with these pictures was “Everywhere there is power, there is the internet.” By this remark you could see a distinct line between the developed countries and the undeveloped countries.
