The Search Continues ...

Today's UIR lesson we were supposed to search for websites that have different types of purpose of resources. These purpose of resources are information, advocacy, business/marketing, news, personal or entertainment.

Quoted from the website.

This website provides detailed information on the impact on the World Economy due to Terrorism. The author explained deeply into the gradual decline of oil consumption, production and imports every year and even have graphs for the past 30 years. It is very detailed in every aspect. I'd strongly recommend this website to be used for reference if anyone is doing a project on the same topic.

My Reflection
Today's activity was quite easy and thankfully the internet connection was not that slow as compared to last week. Therefore the search was smooth and I managed to obtain all the different types of websites quickly. The easiest to find was the theme News as you could just search for a particular News website like CNN and use their search engine to find what you are looking for. While searching under the theme Personal, I came across something which was amusing. As most personal websites are blogs, one of the search results that came out was my blogsite! Haha. There's a test on Lecture 1-3 on next week's lesson so to anyone of my classmates reading, this is just a reminder. All the best.
