Chris Nolan Lecture
I thought that Chris Nolan's lecture was pretty interesting. I didn't know how Google "worked," exactly. Apparently it makes all of its money from the ads on the side of the page. Talk about the power of advertising... I also thought it was interesting how many people choose Google as their web browser - I just use Google because it's turned into a habit... I never really thought about using other web browsers. Chris Nolan also talked about sources, and what to think about when you're selecting one. ".com" sites are business sites for profit, which means they are literally trying to sell you something... So they might not be the most reliable sources. ".org" sites are non-profit organizations, so even though they don't make money, they may be trying to sell you an idea. And ".edu" sites are usually reserved for higher education, which means they're probably the most reliable.
