Chris Nolan's Presentation

I really enjoyed Chris Nolan's presentation. One thing that I learned was about what the website addresses and domains meant. I learned that .com is typically a company that is trying to sell something and that .org is an organization that could be a non-profit, church, political action committee, big corporation, or just a group of people in a basement. The legitimacy of the information on .com and .org websites needs to be checked and not fully trusted. Also I learned about .gov and .edu domains. The .gov websites mean that they are from the United States government. The information on these websites are very accurate, however they may be tainted by the bias of the current political party. The .edu websites are wonderful for scholarly or academic purposes because many of these websites are from colleges and universities. One thing that surprised me was that Google could make search engines in strange languages. They have themes such as Pig Latin and pirate. I loved what I learned from this presentation and I know that it will benefit my use of search engines such as Google.
