Response to Reading assignment

When I was reading the article, I wonder if I was reading the right assignment. I couldn’t find anything related to Art. Instead, I felt like I was reading science journal. The scientific terms and facts confused me. However, the central idea gradually became clearer when the history developed to ‘Internet’, the more familiar word.

I read one of the paragraphs about categorizing different websites into six domains: Org Gov Edu Com Net Mil. Actually I always have a silly question. Is there any organization which monitors the registration? I mean, is it possible if people want to register as “.gov” for fun?

I sort of like the way the writer compare between ‘English’ and ‘Internet’. Nobody own English, not even English speaking person, so as the internet. Every user can feel free to utilize and exploit this domain; yet, internet is a public properly which belongs to no one.

I feel like this article is merely about the development of internet history. I was quite surprised by the quick development of internet. Actually it doesn’t have a long history (one article can illustrate most of them!), but its speed of improvement was really amazing.

About the oil website, it brought out the same controversial topic- fluctuation price of oil. Similar to internet technology, both of them change in every minute. I like the way they presented the importance of oil. They use the price of oil to replace all prices originally in US dollars.

It reminds us that oil is the public property everyone should protect and save. Over-exploitation could lead to serious danger. Same as the case of internet, internet is a good pool resources that everyone have rights to enjoy, but the mis-use of it could destroy everything one day.
