Presentation topics for the 3^rd trimester

1. Internet timeline (How did it start, where will it go?)
2. Revision of the types of connections we have had in the past, have today and might have in the future (think about carrier pigeons to optic fibres)
3. Computer timeline (what was the first computer, what will it be in the future?) and how did and do they work?
4. Data storage, how was it stored in the past? How do we store it now? Which quantities? Which types of data is needed for storage?
5. Copyright and sharing of data. What are the laws? Do they need to be revised? What can we download what can’t we download and who is responsible?
6. Satelites. What are they? How were the first one and how are they now? What do we use them for?
7. GPS. How does it work? How did it start? Are we constantly observed?
8. Mobile phones. Present a timeline and explain the new needs for its functions. Are there dangers in having so much radiation all around us?
