Dissecting the Internet was the first class of my college career, and after my first week in the class, I'm very glad that it was. The professors are some of the nicest and most welcoming people I've met, and the class on its own is so interesting. All of them were personable, if a bit scary with their knowledge of firearms, but the class was really cool.
To be honest, I'm not usually much of a tech person. I never gave much thought to how the internet worked, only that it did. But actually getting in depth to this kind of thing is more interesting than I ever gave it credit for, credit that it's turning out to deserve. Binary code was fascinating and I loved trying to translate things like my name outside of class.
I'm a little bit more excited about the sociological aspects of the class coming up, because that falls in line with more what I tend to be interested in, but until then, the stuff like binary code and the technical stuff about how the internet works and how is far from boring.
