  What I've learned so far in DIG110... Part II     This second module of DIG110 has been so interesting to me. I love to learn the "inner workings" of things; however, I've never really explored how the internet really works. After this module, I've been picturing the bits of data as tiny puzzle pieces in envelopes. They get broken up to fit into envelopes, sent off to their destination, and then get put back together again.  This website  gave some great information on how the information travels.          I also learned some great information (that has already helped me out!) about Google Chrome.

From rings that can track your fitness and whole body wellness to extended reality where you can seemingly enter a whole different world.
