Course Description
 Are you in the dark about how the Internet works? Do you wonder how in the world it is possible to communicate with someone on another continent in the blink of an eye? This straightforward course clearly and plainly lays out the basics of the Internet in a light and interesting way. It also offers valuable information about how to protect your computer, your family and yourself from the inevitable dangers that naturally arise in a system so open, and so very powerful.
With a tool as elegant and robust as the Internet, it is good to know what you are looking at when you see or hear about things like "TCP/IP" – it's not all complex programming language, but often just logical abbreviations for simple terms that best describe the process.
You will be more comfortable using the Internet after taking the course. You will be able to hold a meaningful discussion, not only socially, but with technicians and computer geeks. Get online and get informed with our Internet Fundamentals course! Course Requirements
