The first studies in internet protocol were actually done in the early 1970s. Since then, the expansion of the Internet has been amazing, making it the number one form of communication, and fast becoming the number one way to do business. Everything from groceries to airline tickets can now be purchased online. A class in Internet technologies takes a good look at the internet's humble beginnings and how it has progressed over the last few decades. The class will also teach students about TCP/IP protocol applications, fiber optics, interfaces, and the terminology used within the technical side of the Internet. It is a very valuable course that should expand upon the inner workings of the Internet, and what is being done to make sure that it stays safe and secure. New developments are constantly being made, and this is an exciting time to be involved in the world of the internet and all that it has to offer.
