Research

The first activity was to select a research topic from the list provided on the portfolio brief, and base on the research topic that i had selected,i had to search the Internet for one each of the following Internet resources, using any search facility. What was expected was to read up on the topic i had chosen, i had to look into.

  1. Discussion Forum
  2. Electronic journal/magazine/news
  3. WWW site
  4. Blog

i was wondering what was the actual term for WWW as the lecture was saying. We are just so used to type WWW in front of the web page we want to view, but some of us actually do not know the actual term for WWW. It actually stands for "The World Wide Web" , and do you actually know what does HTTP stands for? Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is a communications protocol. Its use for retrieving inter-linked text documents (hypertext) led to the establishment of the World Wide Web .Than the next new things that i have know is RSS is a family of Web feed formats used to publish frequently updated works—such as blog entries, news headlines, audio, and video—in a standardized format.The term "RSS" (Really Simple Syndication) is still sometimes used to refer to web feeds in general, including web feeds with a format different from RSS, and lastly i had learn that FTP ( File Transfer Protocol) is a network protocol used to transfer data from one computer to another through a network such as the Internet. FTP is a file transfer protocol for exchanging and manipulating files over a TCP computer network. An FTP client may connect to an FTP server to manipulate files on that server.


OK ! back to the assignment. i chose the effects of eating disorders on teenagers, as i think that health is a very important thing in our life, and that there is an increase of teenagers having this problem not knowingly. i had a friend who had recovered from eating disorder, and i think that it takes both courage, perseverance and also lots of love and care from her family. i was able to find a few website related to the topic that i had chosen, but the work was more tedious than what i thought. i had to read thru quite a few pages before coming to a conclusion. I had to consider if the source was reliable or not, or was it useful. i spent alot more time that i had expected to. It seems to be a simple task but, the truth are deceiving. I had also noticed that the way i type the words into the search engine makes a big difference to the final results.


References that i usually got my research from :

  1. wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eating_disorder
  2. Google : http://www.google.com/
  3. Yahoo : http://www.yahoo.com/
