1. Probably the most exciting was that I learned how to make a web page . . . a rather rudimentary one, sure, but I am mainly a self-taught computer geek, so it was nice to finally get that under my belt.
2. Finally learned what Bluetooth is: essentially it is a fancy term for a Personal Area Network, or PAN. Those wireless headsets that work with your cell phone? Yeah, that's Bluetooth.
3. I learned that though a MIME file is a universally recognized email attachment, it's still annoying.
4. I learned that Saturday morning classes are for the birds.
5. I learned other fancy terms for things I already knew about, such as POP, or Post Office Protocol, which is basically just a geek way of saying your email is stored on a host computer.
6. And I learned that there seem to be other popular social networks out there besides facebook and myspace . . . like Ning (never heard of it), LinkedIn, and Classmates Online.
And Second Life! Apparently it's HUGE, and yet...I had never heard of it until this class!
