New semester ; New module. Effective Interenet Research Tool.

From the subject introduction, it seems to be an interesting and helpful module that will teaches us the correct way of using internet as the tool for our research. Thus enable us to save alot of precious time in the future using the skills i learnt from this module. I will be looking forward the the following lessons and hope i can learn as much things as possible.

In today's lesson, we are taught of different ways of getting the information we wanted from the internet. In the past the only websites i went was only Yahoo, Google and Wikipedia when i wanted to search for information for my projects. However after today's lesson, i learnt that we are able search for information from other resources. Like the forums and even blogs. This enable us to find relevant information in the shortest among of time.

Also in the past, my views towards Wikipedia was a unreliable site. Maybe from the influences from lecturers, stating not to retreive informations from there. What i didnt know was that the main reason of establishing Wikipedia. The idea of trust and community sharing. Which i personally feel that it is something we should learn from. However it abused by inconsiderate users.

Lastly, the research topic I have chosen is "The impact of online gaming on youth." Personally i think that with the new technology, it is hard that youth do not get in contact with computers. Hence with the use of computers, many of them will be easily addicted to the computer games. So I guess I will be finding the causes & impacts online gaming have on youth.
