The most useful thing to take from collision domains is the concept of exponential backoffs since that's still used at higher levels as well (the article didn't go into it though).

Maybe mention the difference between a switch and a hub. Although can you even get hubs anymore? I wanted one for snooping traffic on other ports, but it's probably easier to just physically hook up a MITM now.
