Field Trip

By Jasmine Neicey Hill

Hello Fellow Classmates,
Yesterday, November 2 we went to a Internet Farm!!!!! Now i must say it was far more interesting than I thought (No offense Professor Sistrunk). I really didn't think I would be amazed but I was, and it was very informational. I would like to give props to Professor Sistrunk because everything we learned from the Internet farm we really covered in class. Where shall i began on our trip to the internet farm? Well for starters what I couldn't believe is that on little cord had so much power, those fiber cords are something dangerous! We could be walking on a whole bunch of fiber and not know! This little cord can allow internet access from Georgia to California in milliseconds. Something that has been on my mind what the guy said (I forgot his name) but it is proven that technology is getting way out hand and surpasses the human brain. Ya'll this is tooooo deep and I don't think sweet baby Jesus approves this!!! it makes perfect sense though, especially when he said that alot of these valuable things we have, there is already an upgraded version but they just let consumers purchase it so they can make their money then a year later come out with something new. I expressed this in class one day because I remember saying This about Apple. Y'all they are stickin us for our paper!!!! (in the words of Biggie) O wait...hold up... i have to tell you all my thoughts when i first entered, and by the looks of my classmates face we all thought the same thing. It felt like the Matrix walking in there and then we saw cages and I was thinking uh oh this is not toooo right. It was like everywhere we walked didn't feel to safe. I would have never thought there were places like that, the cages were really interesting to see because there are companies who invest in their own space for someone to monitor their websites and etc. One cage that was owned by a Fortune 500 company looked nice, it was color coded and huge and well organized. There was so much electricity being used you can feel the heat when you stand next to it. Then he start talking about prices and lawd have mercy i was thinking in my head WHOA!!!! the lowest price i heard throughout this whole experience was $8000. Nonetheless i enjoyed myself, it was a good experience and it was pretty cool to know everything he talked about because we learned it in class. So now my main focus is to find a need and pursue it so I can own a purple Bentley!!! lol
