Additional Assignment #1

After watching this video i was informed of even more search engines at our disposal that i had no clue existed. They were google squared and wolframalpha. I believe that both provide excellent educational implications. Google squared provides tables of information on almost anything you need and its as easy as typing some words and clicking the mouse. Wolframalpha is the other search engine and just for population searches it gives you the flag, geographical location, square miles, and other important information all at your disposal again by simply typing and clicking in the search box.
My comments about the Did You Know video didnt change, this basically reenforced my views about it and the populations of the world and how much bigger china is compared to the other countries of the world.
This exercise helped me to understand and organize statistics much better than i would have been able to do before. The two new search engines give you easy to understand tables and charts on all the statistics you need and make things much more organized.
  The reading about the stable boy and the ipad was very interesting. It is amazing that illiterate children of a country where they have probably never seen or heard of most of the technology in our country can pick up our technology and use it because sometimes to me it seems that i dont even know how to use most of the technology our country possesses.
