My internet comes from the verizon company. It comes in as a phone cord and you connect it with the wireless modem which I connect to the desktop. Then the modem wirelessly connects to other laptops and Iphone and Ipod Touch in the house. I learned to tell the difference between some of the cords and I also, learned that there is something like the internet cloud or an actual machine in space, which holds all the information that we put in our computer. I was surprised by that fact because I never thought of my information being help in space like that. What I think that other people need to know about having an ISP/Home network is the structure of my internet chart, like where all the things connect and how it is connected.     

My internet comes into my house through a phone cable, because I have Verizon FiOS.  It then goes through a Modem, and next through a wireless router.  Our FiOS plan costs $85/month, which means it costs about $1,020/year.  My household has a lot of devices that use our internet connection, including phones and a TV.  Altogether, these devices are 2 Mac desktop computers, 3 Mac laptops, 1 TV, 3 house phones, and 2 cell phones.  When we were learning about networks, my "OMG moment" was learning how different everyone's networks are, and how they don't even go into people's houses the same way.  I had never really thought about networks as things that could be unique to each household.  What I would tell people they need to know about having a home network would be that you should know every part that your connection goes through before it reaches all of your devices.  That way, if something goes wrong, they will know to check every part for the problem. 

The way that this works is that you can choose out of the five different ways to except the process. You can either choose WIFI, cable, phone,dish or fiber optics. They attach this to your house and this is how you except the internet. Then you have a modem that is connected to your Ethernet cable which is connected to your wireless router. From your wireless router you can have either a wireless connection or connected by cable. Then you can have things running from your wireless router such as your laptops, phone, xbox and more. Then from your wireless router you can have an airport express and have wireless speakers, wireless printers and more. That is how you work this system.

At my house, we have Verizon Fios. When you have Verizon which is a phone modem, all of your information comes from a phone cable. Connected to my phone cable I have WiFi, so that I can use laptops, tablets, ipods, phones, etc. Connected to our network we have three Iphones, mine my sisters, and my moms. We also have three laptops, mine, my moms, and my sisters. Lastly, on my WiFi we have a Wii. When we were talking about different networks in class, i learned a lot. I had no idea that there were so many different cords or so many different things that could be in your home network. For example i didn't know about Ethernets, or Airport express'. I think that if I had to tell people about having an ISP, I would tell them to go and look at all the cords they have, and to see what each thing is connected to the other. I would also tell them that it gets very easy, if you break it down, and you do what we did with the charts.

How the internet works: 
Connects by first having cable internet connection. Then have service provider which is Comcast,thats is connected to a modem. And the modem is connected to the ethernet. That is connected to the main computer. And it has wifi goes to all my devices, such as a laptop,iPod, phone...etc 

2. Explain your L.A.N. Local Area Network - all the devices on your internet connection.

The devices I have on my internet connection is mostly wireless besides my main computer and my printer. The wireless devices are 3 laptops, an iPod, 4 phones ...etc

3. Reflect on what you learned about networks, did you have an OMG moment that you learned something new and interesting? if now write about what you learned.
Yes I had an omg LOL moment when I learned something new. i learned that the internet doesn't just come out of no where. 

4. what would you tell other people that they need to know about having an ISP/Home network?
I would tell them that they need to know that it's not magic, it starts with the cable internet connection that you need a service provider.That internet cable connects to the modem and the modem connects to the ethernet cable. That cable connects to the main computer and the modem is wireless. And that connects it to all my devices.  

My internet connection comes in the same way everyone else. It all starts with the cloud which represents the internet. My ISP (internet serves provider) is Fios. From that my ISP cable is connected to my modem. Next comes the router, mines is a wireless router. Before that comes the ethernet connection which connects everything. Back to the wireless router, it sends out a wireless signal which lets give the internet to my wireless devices. I would say my "OMG" moment is when I had to figure out how everything worked and was connected to each other. My "lol" was hearing about the cloud and finding out about how quick the internet was even though it goes through a lot of processes. I would tell someone that when trying to describe their internet connection make sure they add in the ethernet cords because they are very important.

My home is connected to the "cloud" and my modem. My modem is connected to a wireless router. This wireless router allows internet access for 3 laptops and my iphone. My internet provider is Comcast. When learning about internet connections, I would say my OMG moment would be when I found out the internet and world wide web are not the same thing. I could also say that that realization was also an "lol" moment because I often refer to them as the same thing. To answer the question "what would you tell someone about what you learned about the internet?" I would have to say I already have told someone what I learned in class. I went to my friends house after school one day and before I even said "hi", I said "did you know the internet and the world wide web aren't the same thing". It blew my mind so I guess I just decided to share it with my friend.
