One Internet-enabled service that I use regularly
is Life360. You can get a record of a family
member's location history which seems like an HTTP
get request. Creating a family group seems like an
HTTP post.
Yes, this lab has caused me to think differently
about the tech interactions in my daily life. I
never really considered before how different
applications and devices communicate with info
that is stored on a server. Of course I understood
that all the information could not possibly be
stored on a phone or laptop, but I was not
completely aware of what was actually going on
behind the scenes. I think I will be a lot more
concious of the presence of HTTP requests now in
my daily life.
