Chris Nolan's Presentation

Chris Nolan brought new light onto me about surfing the web and using search engines. One new thing that I learned that I know will help me on my future web searches is the advanced search option. I did not know about this option and he gave a very good example with the Mexico and photography search. I did not know that you can exclude certain words or phrases to come up in your Google searches and I know this is so helpful because it narrows down a search substantially. One thing that surprised me about what Mr. Nolan said was the topic on .gov sites. I knew that sites ending in .gov were government sponsored sites but I did not know that the government could skew information as Mr. Nolan explained. Now I believe I am a smarter web surfer and more skeptical viewer as I search the web.
