Reasearch Log Entry

Some of the discussion that was held in class that I already knew a little about was the uniform research locator. I knew that it was used to locate what website you're trying to get too, but I wasn't familiar with the exact name of the url abbreviation. I was also familiar with what the domain names stood for except the out of country ones only because I had never gone to a website that wasn't operated within the United States. I was also familiar with what a search engine was being an online operating system so to speak that helps you in finding sources of information related to what you are searching for. However I was not familiar with the fact that changing how the smaller seemingly less important smaller words are formated have a large influence on what is sent back to you in your search. I was not familiar to evaluating resources on the web though due to the fact that I hadn't really ever bothered with evaluating web resources muchm which is a bad thing. Exploring and evaluating the web in today's society is a very importent ability and knowledge to have because much of what we do is centered around the internet, it is also very interesting to myslef and an ability I am very interested in aquiring.
