My ten hours with Jonathan have made me ask these questions:

• How do you create new languages?
• How many IP addresses are left?
• Is IPV6 there to deal with a growing shortage of IPV4?

The most important thing I learned is about the IP addresses, because that is how all of our computers find each other in the network.

This helped my choose this as my topic because it gave me greater insight on the device I'm working on right now and how it allows you to see it from most other devices on the network. I think that's interesting and our society is most likely going to expand and innovate in this field.
