Activity 4 Summary

Today we learned about network connections and their addresses. First we talked about how the computer connects to the router with a cable through the default gateway. We learned that each device has its own physical address, and that each router/network connection has its own IP address, which is like a phone number and can be used with different devices. The DNS server(which is like the phonebook) has two addresses just in case one doesn't work, so that we can still be connested. Next, we watched a movie about the new iPad from Apple. It demonstrated the various features of the iPad, and was another example of new and changing technology with applications, an operating system, and network connections. Lastly, I gathered the information and screenshots for my blog.
