Assignment 1 - After reading Chapter 1, post to your blog 3 facts you learned from the chapter. Tell the fact, definition, or explain what you learned.
Fact 1 - I learned that private browsing mode can protect a user with privacy and security when other users share access to the Web from the same computer. A network server may have the power to red flag secretive searches that break company policy and track the user.
Fact 2 - I learned that most computer manufacturers today still install Internet Explorer even after reported security issues. Internet Explorer still remains the dominant browser because most users are not skilled and use whatever comes installed on their computer. A mere 32% of skilled Web users rely on Firefox as their default Web browser.
Fact 3 - I learned that the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) is not responsible for maintaining all top-level domains such as sTLDs. The sTLDs are sponsored and maintained by its sponsoring organization. Three sTLDs that were introduced in 2000 were:
.aero (airlines, airports, and the air transport industry)
.coop (cooperative organizations)
.museum (museums)
