Ratings and Reviews for Internet History, Technology, and Security

It was more historical than I expected. Gave me some new and interesting knowledge especially in security topic.

is very useful and interesting

One of the strongest cases for enrolling in this course is that it will really help to round out the student's understanding and background of how and why computers work the way they do. The history portion is presented in a really accessible and palatable way, and it looks like it is a thorough job. Charles Severance knows his computers! I started reading Where Wizards Stay Up Late by Katie Hafner because of his interview with her that he includes in the course materials, and it complements the course completely. The quizzes also do a good job of making sure you've retained the important points and are following along.

It is a bit annoying to watch all those certificate advertisements. They're shown everywhere and I think it shouln'd be like that. Once I know they're available I'll purchase one if I want to without being bombed with ads. Nevertheless, a great course.

it is really good, what turing has been done for the british government and all history of internet...................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! well done..keep it up......all coursera team......!!thank you for all your time and sharing valuable information with us....!Thank you....!!

This course is quite interesting for people who want to understand the development of the biggest network in the world - the Internet, understand the basics of network-related technology, and security techniques for digital transaction. However, the review questions are fairly easy.

GREAT

Very insightful and interesting to see how the Internet came about from its humble beginnings in academic circles.

Very enjoyable course. If you have any interests in computers and how stuff like the internet works behind the scenes, I would invite you to take this course. DO IT!!!

Great course that taught me a lot about the background of computer science.
