a. Were you impressed by google’s search functions/features? Why?
b. How do you feel about participation in discussion forum? Is it helpful for your research? Do you feel anxious about talking to others you do not know?
c. Why must you do citation and bibliography?
A) Yes I was impressed. The most interesting thing about Google is the amazing search facilities and its fuzzy logic to be able to reference out and prioritize information that is relevant to a search query. I have used Google for over half a decade and as compared to any other search engine, Google trumps in the fact that it ultimately caters to the convenience of the user.
B) Not really. In a discussion forum, communities are usually formed by how long you have been posting in a forum. To start out with just one post in some of these forums, for example: clubSNAP, it would be easily ignored if you have an opinions/questions about a topic, unless it is regarding something that is of common interest. It's not as helpful because I've also not been able to find an active forum that is relating to Singaporean youths. And I don't feel anxious talking to others I do not know, because it isn't a fast-paced response system unlike chatrooms where you can hold conversations, forums tend to be much milder in malice because of the fact that it takes awhile for someone to post back.
C) Citations are important because it gives proof to the information you gather for research. This is to show where this information is taken from so as to easily sift through the source's reliability. It's also important because as examiners, citing and bibliography helps them to check whether the information was truly gathered and is substantial and reliabe from resources or just plain airy-fairy talk envisioned by the student.
And as I was looking through Google, I came across some interesting logos that Google used before. Personally, as a designer, I think this is the most interesting part about Google; how the logo is edited according to festival/major events:
