2160: HTML, web design, and miracles.

Recently, In Shane's class we learned the basics of HTML codes. It was one of those moments where I took a step back and marveled at modern technology. How is it that typing with lots of ////, <<< >>> and random words can create the memorizing websites that are out there today. Instead of doing a very good job of listening to my dedicated instructor I let my mind wonder who came up with this and how they made it work. I have no Idea. We live in a world of technological miracles and as I learn the basics of online journalism and the power of the internet, I think I'll enjoy the ride a little more if I take the time to marvel at what I am learning. Maybe, you'll take my advice or maybe you'll think I am stupid. Either way, I just typed a message into a white box at my apartment and your reading it right now and that is just cool.
