The Internet Landscape is Confusing

Being a first timer to the whole blogging scene has made me realize that there is more to the internet than just web surfing.  However, understanding what is out there is a different story.  From Protocol to Domain to Web design to Social Media, one can get lost in the shuffle.  For example, here is an image which illustrates the abundance of social media and domain.  This is only going to grow with time.  Reading "Internet For Dummy" might be a good place to start.  But this is the case if you don’t know about it or don’t use it, where would you begin to find out about?  Having an audit background, I would also question its security and governance.  There has been some attempts to regulate the social media, but this is only the beginning (see article Governing Social Media).  Having said that, one can see that the benefit is tremendous – any information is just a click away.
