In my geography class a few years ago we learned how ancient civilizations began. Through studying the various times of history we learned what the essentials were for establishing a successful society that would withstand the outer forces who saw it fit to collapse the new empire. First and foremost a city needed to build an infrastructure. It needed to connect all of its many parts together with roads, clearing the way for transportation and movement. The roads connected each town together and allowed for the flow of information and the transferring of goods. Like the ancient civilizations, I believe this very concept of infrastructure and connecting information is just as important as before.

The internet is held together by search engines. These search engines catalog and connect all of the web’s content by making it easily and readily available to discover. Search engines find information with spiders that constantly crawl all of the links/references they find on the internet, looking for new content to populate their databases. The internet as we know it today is so successful because of how connected it is with search engines and their archived data.

When we want to find something we search. We are searching for content that has been input by someone or something prior to our search. The only way we can ensure that this will always work with the constantly changing technological world is if we as people continue to give the internet additional information that can be indexed by linking sites and referencing quotes and ideas.

This blog will serve as a few purposes for me. Mainly it will be to record my daily events and happenings, making it easy to share with my friends and family what I’m doing. Another reason will be to share my interests, likes and dislikes, along with my opinion and viewpoint for whatever is on my mind. The other reason will be to connect the content of the internet together by composing my findings and solutions. By linking to my sources and citing my references to a problem solved, I can help build the ultimate infrastructure of knowledge.
