On Thursday, Mr. Nolan came and talked to us about search engines and how to receive good results when using a program like Google. I learned a lot during his presentation about the ways you can narrow your search on Google. I had never used the ‘scholar’ option on Google before. It is very helpful to know a way to skip over websites that are not good for citation. Of course, you should always check out sources yourself before using them. I also liked the option Mr. Nolan showed us to limit the domains that show up in your search.
I didn’t realize that Google makes so much money off of the ads on their search engine. I personally never give ads on Google any of my time, so I was surprised there is so much money invested in them. I appreciate the way Google tries to make its search engine a truthful one, and not allow websites to pay their way to the top of the list, or to stop companies like JC Penny from tricking the search engine into showing their web at the top.
