Week 11 Reading

This week’s reading by Alexander Galloway touched upon some stuff that I have read for another subject I’m doing. The whole evolution of the internet was started by the need to have an atomic bomb shelter for the flow of information between military installations. This was called ARPAnet and it utilized a newly developed rule for how computers interact called NPC. This allowed graphically separated computers to exchange information securely. It was interesting to read how computer protocols are a technique for achieving regulations made up by different levels of coding, within a contingent environment. Then everything got fuzzy and didn’t quite understand a whole lot more. I hope to learn more about it in class.
