Internet Innovations
"The internet changes the world"
E-commerce
Electronic commerce is how we buy things online.
The launch of amazon and ebay was in 1995. The two sites would come to define the web in the 1990's and continue to be leading sellers of goods online. Because of electronic commerce, whatever you can buy in a store, you can buy online. This impacts tons of different people in many ways. For example if you're too lazy to go all the way to the nearest best buy you can just order something online. Problems that this innovation solves everyday is that now with just a few clicks, we can not only find the best prices for travel, but also book our flight, hotel room, or renter car without any complications. I really like this innovation because when I am in need of items e-commerce has made life so much easier.

                     How the Internet Works
                          
A few things that I remember learning from the videos that stood out to me were how many megabytes there are in a single song. There are also millions of IP addresses and there's a whole process to how IP addresses are made, and that people can steal them and hack into the websites with the URL's. I also saw how the data we receive is delivered from our phones to computers and other devices. I saw how people keep their websites secure, so how to prevent viruses because hackers can take over millions of computers worldwide.
