Internet

This week's lecture was rather broad, and touched on many subjects dealing with the internet. We talked about connectivity, IP addresses, as well as web protocols and other internet details. However, I'll be focusing on the connectivity for my business.

I think, as it is pretty obvious, that every single company, no matter the size, should have some sort of a broadband connection. Whether it be a DSL or cable connections, or more desirably a fiber-optic connection, having an internet that loads quickly is the most important. It will help increase speeds at which things are done, which would increase efficiency.

Some other advantages of having a broadband connection would be faster sharing, as everyone would be able to connect to the web, and to each other quicker. It would also allow for better idea creation as more things to help boost creativity (websites, programs) would be available due to faster load times. It will also help efficiency as many things can be going on at once on the connection, without much of a disrupt in the performance of these things (videos online, or high bandwith usage programs).
