Record your outcome and reflections of your experiences and thoughts on this task in your learning log

This was an interesting task because when using the Internet it is not often thought that identities are involved. The concept of the Internet is a lot larger than originally thought. There are so many details that one would not think of in order for the Internet to be successful. This task has enabled me to see the background of the Internet and as a result I have gained a better understanding of the ins and outs of the Internet.
