IP/TCP...

Wow. So we read a lot yesterday for class about internet history. I'm glad I did, I find that stuff so interesting. It's hard to imagine those people writing the first framework for all the protocols and internet processes that are so commonplace now. To think that someone had to first come up with the notion of something like IP, and then to actually materialize it...its baffling. Such a complex thing with nothing to guide you other than what you have learned as the internet grew from nothing.

How it all works is such a fascinating mystery to me, as I know I will probably never have the time to learn it all given my other interests that occupy my time...

I just can't begin to comprehend manifesting such powerful, groundbreaking concepts from text on a screen.
