My Reflections

Google had been a common search engine which we use to do research, and some other web page such as yahoo and msn.com . i preferred to use google all along. when the teacher was saying about google scholar, i was rather shocked when i saw the word google scholar.It was something that i don't know at all. what i know was only google, yahoo search. Therefore i did a little research on what is google scholar and google.


Google : an American public corporation, earning revenue from advertising related to its Internet search,e-mail, online mapping, office productivity, social networking, and video sharing services as well as selling advertising-free versions of the same technologies.

Google Scholar : a freely-accessible Web searching engine that indexes the full text of scholarly literature across an array of publishing formats and disciplines. The google scholar index includes most peer-viewed online journals of the world's largest scientific publishers. Its advertising slogan - " stand on the shoulder of giants" - is a nod to the scholars who have contribution to their fields over the centuries, providing the foundation for the new intellectual achievements.

In my opinion, i think that people could just do wonders by just using the Internet. It had been alot more convenient. Now people could just search for something thru the Internet and they need not waste their time to go all the way down to the shop to check out on the information of the product or about the company. In this assignment i manage to take note of what are the difference between google and google scholar and which are the information i can look up on when doing my research.it will be alot more convenient for me in the future.


Were you impressed by google’s search functions/features? Why?

To really look at how google search works, i think that it is very impressive. The things that you search on could just appear in seconds and there are alot of informations.it provides high quality of information for you to choose from.You could choose the country of information that you want to search on and also the that the information could all be translated to a different language.
In google search, there are alot more things that i can do such as searching for images , news books, and many more, unlike google scholar.
