During this practical session, we learned how to identify the different types of internet search facilities and evaluate the effectiveness of different Internet search facilities.

I have used my research topic on the impact of online gaming on youths and i used the keywords which are impact, online gaming and youths. We were also told to list the variations to our keywords. After that, we were supposed to write down the search phrases that include the keyword and variations that we listed. We included boolean, punctuation and many more search functions to search.

The line which i used to searched is
“Online Gaming” AND (impact OR effects) AND (youths OR teenagers)

I tried using the same line to search using search engines, meta search engines and also sub directory.

From my point of view and researching, i found out that Search engines meet my searching needs more because it gives a wider range of information which I can filter it out myself. Although it is time consuming, but It is worth the time to find the valuable information that u want to find. Further more, It is better to filter out information out yourself rather then let others or the computer do it as they might filter out the information that you need.

This practical session taught me quite a number of things which i did not know when surfing the internet for so long.
