Wikipedia



Wikipedia or free resource as it’s known for some people it’s one of the most famous web sites in the world. Wikipedia allows anyone to write articles there or edit articles; it is free to anyone to write about any subject there and also easy to anyone can access to the web to edit that article. However, Wikipedia used to be written only by experts and edit by peer reviewed. What especial about Wikipedia is that you can find any information you looking for there because it opens to public to write there without needs to prove that information is right or not. I’m sure that anyone could access to internet went to Wikipedia and looked for some information.  So, any information you need to find and know just go to Wikipedia and you will find it.  

Information Needed This Week


This week I needed some information about how media could affect in people views and believes. What was new experience to me this week that I had to make a survey to find out answers to my questions about media effectiveness in our lives? On my survey I targeted people in age of 21 and older because people in this age and older have enough knowledge in media. I did this survey in Waterfield Library and Murray Public Library. 75% of people believe what media says because they think media has no reason to lie on people. 25% of them see that media could make some lies to support their views of some causes like war in Iraq. 90% of people in this survey believe media could change their views and attitudes towards things. What I liked that most people have knowledge about media from different countries, and they were exciting to know the results of the survey.   Some of my questions came from this video

Inside the Mind of Google

I think this video discovered and answered a lot of question I thought in about how Google works. This video had surprises to me especial that Google keeps your researches in database and could use it to reach you; exactly, the same what happened with the mother and her daughter in the example.  Not only this, but also video gives you a lot information about Google.  Also, how they started was really exciting from twenty members’ team to what they have today leads you to that nothing impossible in the world. All that was informative to me and nothing might cause me to change my Google habits. It may make me more careful when I search because I know that someone is watching me.         

This week I needed some information in how to write a business report. First resource I looked at was my “Google book” then I went to other web sites related to the subject.
“Business Communication” by KrizanPatricia Merrier, and Joyce P. Logan
 I found it on Google books, it’s really worthy book, it has all what you need to write a value business report especially it was written by well-known names and experienced people in this filed. Information is stated directly and clearly so that help to better understanding, and give you detailed and reliable information at the same time.
They show how to write step by step with explanation each step carefully. Also, authors of this book provide you with good and bad example of writing business report which make it easier to understand. I really see this book worth and value because it has all what you need in this subject.
