One idea for networking topic: Ethernet
Ethernet is old networking technology that is nowadays more popular than ever.
The Ethernet technology has evolved from the old Ethernet to something that is pretty different than what it used to be but still Ethernet.
Make a presentation how Ethernet has developed over the years, and how it has become the number one networking technology for
LAN and WAN applications.

The devices would all be linked by one coaxial cable, he said, and would run within a local area network. He called the system an Ether Network, or Ethernet. And 36 years later Ethernet is going on strong, although the technology has changed more than a bit on the way. In this original vision, there was no need for hubs. Somehow once everything became balanced twisted pairs the “ether” became segmented into little mini-ethers held back from each other by digital logic."
