课程简介:技术和网络对我们生活,文化,和社会的影响继续增加。过去的六十年,得益于网络设施的基础建设,你可以在任何有网络的地方选修这门课。在一个以信息为中心的世界,我们需要了解网络技术的工作原理。本课程将揭秘互联网的方方面面,向您展示如何创建,是谁创造了它,它是如何工作的。一路上我们会遇见很多互联网先驱和Web技术的创新者,他们的创造我们沿用至今。
你将学习:
本课程后你不会认为互联网和Web是理所当然的。你会更好的了解重要技术目前面临的社会问题。你会意识到,互联网和网络是很好的创新天地,你也会对如何融入创新有更好的理解。如果你对本课程的材料感兴趣的话,则这段课程的学习则有可能是你通向网站设计、网站开发、编程、网络管理的契机。至少,你将成为一个更明智的网络公民。
Get Started
本节内容
对于第一节Get Started的内容,我想对其进行逐句翻译。毕竟只是一个小开幕。以后的学习笔记中我不会对课程内容进行逐句翻译。
Hello. My name's Charles Severance and I'm a Clinical Associate Professor at the University of Michigan School of Information. Welcome to my course on Internet History Technology and Security.
大家好,我是查尔斯•塞弗伦斯,是密歇根大学信息学院副教授。欢迎来到我的“互联网的历史、技术和安全”课程。
My goal with this course is to look at how the Internet and world wide web came to be. And how it works on the inside, not from a programming or technical perspective but to simply examine it.
我的教学目标开展会着重于互联网和万维网是如何形成的。以及它们内部的运行机制,而不是从编程或技术潜力角度来开展我们的课程,我们只是去做简单的调查。
You know, and talk about it. We have a basic notion of the history of the internet. The web was invented in 1990. But in this course, we want to unpack a lot more detail.
你知道,我们对互联网的历史的了解只有一些基本概念。(例如)网页在1990年被发明。但我会带领大家解读更多细节。
I was quite lucky in the mid 1990s to host a national television show about the Internet. Hosting that show allowed me and my co-host to interview the people who were actually inventing all this technology at the time.
我很幸运在二十世纪九十年代时,就主持了一档全国性电视节目来介绍互联网。主持这个节目能让我和我的搭档采访了一些在那时发明了这些科技的人。
I'm also currently a reporter for IEEE Computer Magazine and travel around the world making interviews with technology leaders. We'll use those interviews to take a look at the Internet and hear people tell us in their own words how things happen. What went right, and what went wrong. What were some of the hidden stories inside this effort? It'll be a little like an investigation.
我同时也是IEEE计算机杂志的记者,我环游世界去采访技术领军人物。然后通过这些采访窥探互联网的样子——在这里,倾听亲历的人们告诉我们这一切是怎么发生的。有哪些事情进展顺利,又有哪些事情进展不顺。在这些努力的背后,又隐藏了什么故事?(这堂课并不完全是老师教学生学,)而是有点像调查研究一样。
We need to hear from these innovators and listen critically, and construct our own views of the very complex process that resulted in the Internet that we see and use today. And once we understand this in more detail, perhaps together we'll be in a better position to imagine what our future might hold and what it will take to invent new ways to connect people, information, and technology.
我们需要带着批判怀疑的态度去听这些先驱们的观点,形成我们自己的观点,形成对沿用至今的互联网中包含的复杂的发展进程的观点。一旦我们能了解更多的细节,可能我们就能一起以更好的角度去想象,我的未来在哪里?创造把人、信息、科技连接在一起的新方法需要哪些东西?
And in the shorter term I hope that we can pick your interest in all things technical and encourage you to learn more about programming, web application design, networks, data bases, or any other technology, so you can become not just a consumer of technology, but also become a builder or maker of new technologies yourself.
在这一个短短的学期里,我希望我的课程会激发起你在一些技术性知识上的兴趣,而且也能鼓励你学更多的知识,例如编程、web app设计、network、datebase,或者任何其他的技术。所以你能够不仅仅只是一个科技的消费者,而是能成为一位建设者,去创造属于你自己的科技。
As, I'll hope you will learn from the innovators you will meet in this class, the most important traits that lead to success in technology are curiosity, energy, and a willingness to learn.
我希望你能在这门课上,能从这些先驱们的身上学到东西。在技术的道路上,通往成功的最重要的特质是好奇心、充满活力,以及对学习的意志力。
So with that, it's time to get started. Again I'm Charles Severance, and I'm really looking forward to having you in my Internet History Technology and Security course. See you in lecture room.
小记
本课的老师有着比较丰富的经验,上课的资料是自己和同事做记者时采访业界人物的视频,生动且翔实。讲课内容专业层度不会特别深,而是从历史角度出发,介绍计算机和互联网的技术。
计算机科学技术的发展过程,不是纯理论的探寻,是历史的发展,不断因为需求和应用的发展,技术前进。推荐这门课,让你了解为何会产生这个技术,为何会前进这一步。以后看课本的理论,就更有亲切感,知道其背后的故事,知道其为何产生。
