In class last week, we learned about how the internet actually works. Our professor had a demonstration that, for the first time in my life, helped me really grasp how information was sent over the internet. Dr. Yadav handed several pieces of paper to a student at the front of the classroom. He told the student to pass the pieces of paper, one at a time, to his peers around him, and have everyone continue to pass them along to a girl at the back of the classroom. The pieces of paper took many different routes throughout the classroom. Some even made circles through groups of students. But eventually, the girl at the back received all of the pieces of paper, and put them together in such a way that they formed a message.

I had never really understood how genius the structure of the internet is. I just wrote it off in my mind as a mystery that I would never be able to solve. I think that this Dr. Yadav's interactive teaching style will help me not only understand the internet, but also leave me with concrete marketing applications.
