Chris Nolan

I didn't realize that the search engines only reveals portions of the information online. I've never really put any thought into it. But I guess that makes a lot of sense; otherwise, we wouldn't have online archives in which users have to sign in. I find it really useful that there's google scholar and google books etc. I never really explored the other applications of google and after Chris Nolan's presentation, I feel more compelled to go explore google and all that it provides. Additionally, now that I know that I can just type "define" and a word after it in google's search, I won't ever have to go to dictionary.com ever again! That will save me sometime. The other thing that really interested me was the "cache" button. It's neat that I will still be able to access webpages even if they no longer exist.
