I actually found building a webpage fairly easy using the instructions that were given. The webpage that I built was incredibly simple, and didn't feature anything more than a couple lines of text, the marquee for some text, and a picture of our beautiful campus.
While simply following the instructions were incredibly helpful, I can definitely see how building anything even moderately complex could be considered very difficult. I don't know if I have any interest in continuing to build web pages as anything more than a fun little trick, but the information is definitely neat to have. It certainly would be cool to be able to create an actual functioning page that did stuff.
Overall, I think that I actually had fun with the assignment, although I'm not sure how to post the webpage I created to blogger, I'll give it a try.

Email Vs. The Postal Service
Email and the Postal Service, a comparison:
Email has made correspondence between two or more people a lightning fast exchange allowing for pictures, documents, sound files, and many other types of media to be sent. When we look at email, it's hard to imagine seeing the postal service as a similarly groundbreaking technology in its time. However, before a government backed postal service, there was no guarantee that someone would get your letter, no way of communicating with others across great distances, and very little interaction with people that were more than a convenient (or inconvenient) horse or carriage ride away from oneself. The introduction of email is similar to the postal service in that it has opened up a brand new way of interacting with people that are too far away for a powerful shout. It is easy for us to say that email has just taken everything regular "snail" mail did, and done it better; however, there are some differences between the two forms of communication. Mail sent through the postal service is often seen as more personal than emails, and physical mail makes it a lot easier to keep a memento or send money. While email is easier in general, personalized, sincere sentiments are still often sent through the postal service because of these reasons.
