Chris Nolan's lecture
Searching the web can some times be frustrating. There are so many websites that have been created and still many are created everyday. During Mr. Nolan's presentation, I learned that to limit a search on Google you can specify what kind of websites you want listed in the results. The different kinds of websites are distinguished by the last three letters after the dot. For example, .edu is a university or research website, where .gov indicates a federal government site. Along with site identification, I found that all countries have a two letter code at the end of their URL really interesting. The Internet is a vast form of communication, that has many facets. All of these facets are interesting to learn about.
