Computer networks get a bad rap in the movies. In the classic Terminator movies, Skynet (a computer network of the future) takes over the planet, builds deadly terminator robots, and sends them back through time to kill everyone unfortunate enough to have the name Sarah Connor. In the Matrix movies, a vast and powerful computer network enslaves humans and keeps them trapped in a simulation of the real world. And in Eagle Eye, Shia LaBeouf is chased around the country by a deranged supercomputer that has control of every imaginable networkable device, including traffic signals, mobile phones, and fast-food menus. Fear not. These bad networks exist only in the dreams of science fiction writers.Real-world networks are much more calm and predictable. They don’t think for themselves, they can’t evolve into something you don’t want them to be, and they won’t hurt you, even if your name is Sarah Connor. Networking for dummies... ^^
