Investigation Study 3: Internet Search and Development

Introduction

The topic of this study is “Internet Searching and development”. In 2003 A.D., the Internet forms a distributed library for getting information of billions of pages, one that is accessible to anyone, anywhere in the world, at the click of a mouse. Every day hundreds of millions of “trips” to the library start with a query to an Internet search engine. If I want to research a topic such as “Australian Education”, then just I can type those words to a search engine and in less than a second have access to a list of 14,000 pages, sorted by their usefulness to the query. This unprecedented ease of access to information has revolutionized the way research is done by students, journalists, scientists, shoppers, and others. It opens up an online marketplace of products, services, and ideas that benefits both information providers and seekers; sellers and buyers; consumers and advertisers. Due to this importance of internet search in the development of human as it provides a chance to develop, this topic is chosen.
