For my next assignment I viewed a powerpoint called Data, Information, Wisdom, and Google. I was asked for this assignment to answer two questions. Question number one being, “What is Google?” Before viewing the powerpoint I would have just described it as a search engine that can find you the answer or site to just about anything you want. However the powerpoint used a good image that portrayed an analogy of what Google is. It said that it is similar to a paper with many sources. It is very true, because Google can give you a lot of information and it is filled with different sources to do so. I thought that was a very good way of understanding it. Google has multiple types of searches as well, such as images, videos, news, maps, blogs, scholarly material, and books. Google's search capabilities are very broad. The image posted below is of the analogy the powerpoint provided.
The second question I was asked to answer is, “How has internet searching changed our lives over the past 20 years?” The Internet has changed so many aspects of our lives in the past 20 years. Search engines have allowed answers to, what feels like infinite questions, just a click away. We no longer use items such as the dictionary or encyclopedias to find answers to our questions. Even many textbooks have been eliminated due to the ease of searching online for answers. Searching on the internet has eliminated many things for us. We use it to find answers, telephone numbers, maps, and many more things. In the past 20 years we have grown more efficient with our use of the internet. As positive of an effect it has had, we have become very dependent on searching the internet for answers. I think over the next couple of decades we will see significant changes, just as we have the past 20 years as well.
