Why I Took an Internet Course as an Accounting Student
As an accounting major in business school, most of my schedule is packed with courses like Intermediate Financial Accounting, Managerial Accounting, auditing, and taxation. So, you might ask—why would I take a course like COMP-2057: Introduction to the Internet?
The answer is simple: technology is transforming accounting. From cloud-based systems to AI-powered bookkeeping and online tax software, the industry is becoming more digital every day. I chose this course as an elective to understand how the internet works from a technical perspective—something I believe will help me become a more capable professional.
Even though this is my first time taking a course like this—and this blog is part of my first assignment—I’m already seeing its value. I’ve started learning how websites are structured using HTML and CSS, how domain names and hosting work, and how content is created and shared online. These skills aren’t just for programmers. In accounting, being able to present financial information clearly on the web or build an online portfolio can make a big difference in communication and personal branding.
What’s been even more interesting is learning from classmates with backgrounds in computer science, engineering, and digital media. Their insights have helped me see how accounting connects with other fields in today’s digital world. Just by reading blog posts and discussions, I’ve picked up new terms, tools, and even some web design tips.
I really think more accounting students should take COMP-2057. It’s not just about coding—it’s about understanding the digital space behind the tools we use every day in business. Whether you’re running a finance blog, helping a small business get online, or using platforms like QuickBooks or Wave, knowing how the web works gives you a clear advantage.
In today’s world, where business and tech are so connected, digital literacy is a must-have skill. I’m excited to keep learning in this course and see how tech can support my future career in accounting.
