What I would like to learn in this class

Generally I would like to deepen my knowledge about the virtual world. For example learning more about how the internet works, and the history of the internet. Also how far we have come with technology and just how dependent we are on technology and the internet. Another issue I am interested in is how far privacy issue have come since the public has been so dependent on the internet. I would also like to perfect my skills in creating html pages. As a student entering this class with little prior knowledge to computers, learning more in depth about computers and the internet will help me as I continue on to furthering my degree in communications.
