Internetworking Edition 2023 (openHPI)

Die Zahl der Internetnutzer:innen weltweit ist kontinuierlich gestiegen und lag 2021 bei rund 4,9 Milliarden Menschen. In Deutschland sind ca. 94% der Bevölkerung online unterwegs. Das Netz der Netze hat unser Leben und Arbeiten radikal verändert. In diesem Kurs erfahren Sie, welche technischen Prinzipien dem Internet zugrunde liegen. Darüber hinaus wollen wir den Fokus auf relevante Aspekte wie Sicherheit im Internet und seine Rolle für Wirtschaft, Gesellschaft und Politik lenken.

Mehr als die Hälfte der Erdbevölkerung ist durch das Internet vernetzt. Der Einzug des Internets kann von seiner gewaltigen Auswirkung auf die Gesellschaft verglichen werden mit der industriellen Revolution. Die große anfängliche Hoffnung auf eine Demokratisierung der Gesellschaft ist inzwischen verpufft. Im Gegenteil: mit Sorge beobachten wir, wie autoritäre Staaten Webseiten blocken und Online-Inhalte zensieren.
In diesem Kurs wollen wir Ihnen die technischen Grundlagen des Internets vermitteln. Sie erfahren

  • wie das technische Konstruktionsprinzip des Internets in seinen Grundzügen aussieht
  • wie Daten mit Signalen von einem Computer zum anderen übertragen werden
  • wie Datenpakete ihren Weg durch die miteinander verknüpften Einzelnetze des Internets finden
  • wie auch mobile Geräte, Sensoren und Maschinen miteinander über das Internet kommunizieren
  • welche Anwendungen dafür sorgen, dass Sie im World Wide Web surfen und E-Mails oder Filme versenden bzw. empfangen können
  • dass die Sicherheit im Internet – da sie kein von Anfang an mit bedachtes Konstruktionsmerkmal ist – gegen mögliche Angriffe geschützt werden muss.

Sie werden aber auch bewerten können,
-was die entscheidenden Meilensteine in der bisherigen Entwicklung des Internets waren

  • welche Entwicklungen geschichtlich betrachtet zum Erfolg oder Misserfolg wurden
  • welche wichtige Rolle das Internet in Wirtschaft, Gesellschaft und Politik eingenommen hat
  • wie das Internet für kriminelle Zwecke missbraucht wird und wie man sich davor schützen kann
  • welche Entwicklung das Internet in Zukunft nehmen dürfte.

Wir freuen uns auf den Austausch mit Ihnen! Melden Sie sich jetzt an!

This course is designed to quite literally ‘make a science’ out of something at the heart of society: social networks. Humans are natural network scientists, as we compute new network configurations all the time, almost unaware, when thinking about friends and family (which are particular forms of social networks), about colleagues and organizational relations (other, overlapping network structures), and about how to navigate delicate or opportunistic network configurations to save guard or advance in our social standing (with society being one big social network itself).
