On Monday’s class we had an assignment to go on a
scavenger hunt on the internet. We had nineteen items we had to find and I
thought it was going to be relatively simple. We divided up the work I was
working on question three. The first two question we my teammates did quickly
but I got stuck on number three because it asked me for old information, I had
to look through many sites to go through to find it. When I search on google
there are literally millions and millions of search results. But just typing in
the question didn’t work so I had to choose key words just to get around to
find it, it took me awhile. But without the doubt the hardest was to find the
married name of the professor’s younger sister. One team found it so quick and
easy I don’t know how they managed that. We don’t know what she looked like,
professor never talked about her so we had no context. That question we spent
the rest of class time on we still couldn’t find it. Some people went to
Facebook, some went to historical records. Still that’s millions of people to
look through even if we know the family names of the professor there are still
multiple people with same names. What it does illustrate is that we can find
ourselves on the internet even without us ever doing anything, maybe because of
a friend or a meeting we attended to.
