...Internet Research : A Strange , Foreign World 1 Internet Research: A Strange , Foreign World Luther Young CTC Internet Research: A Strange, Foreign World 2 My knowledge of Internet research is limited. I made it through the first 14 years of my education thumbing through library card files and magazine reference books. In my mind, a big stack of books and articles was the only sign of thorough research. I feared Internet research for the same reason that my mother hated microwave ovens (at least until she had the chance to use one). The Internet was a strange, foreign world to me. Like my mother and her microwaves, I feared it because I did not understand it. However, my mother has learned to love her microwave, and becomes testy if for some reason she can't use it. Maybe there's hope for me, after all. I did possess a smattering of knowledge about the Internet. My feeble attempts to locate long-lost friends yielded an awareness of some sites called "Yahoo!", "Excite!" and "Lycos!". I knew that if I typed in a word or two, then clicked on the word "Search", that a listing of references would pop up. Attached to these references were some obscure foreign hieroglyphics that usually started out with something like "http:\\%$@@!!" I have heard about chat rooms but had never forth into that unknown world until I was required to enter the MOO discussion...

...Internet Research or Library Research Abstract Does internet research promote laziness or does it save time? Judith Levine’s article I Surf, Therefore I Am would suggest that the internet is full of garbage and is a useless tool. While reading books, magazines, and newspapers are still available they do come at a cost. However, in the right hands the internet can be a treasure chest full of valuable information. Internet Research or Library Research Where do you go when you have a research paper due? Do you spend countless hours at the neighborhood library combing through endless rows of dusty books or do you go to your personal computer, open up the internet and go to your trusty internet search engine? Like most people today, I would prefer spending my research time at home surfing the World Wide Web for my results. Not only is this a better use of my time as I am sure is the case for many other students, but unlike those that live in large cities I do not have local access to a state of the art library facility. In addition to the internet providing information literally at your fingertips, it also provides instant access to needed information. Unlike Levine, many people do not have access to library facilities as well provided for as the NY Science, Industry, & Business Library. Like myself, there are many who live in small towns with libraries that very frequently do not have the latest best sellers never mind them having adequate material required for...

...Ochola Eng-101 B 65 18 Sept 14 Using the Internet for Research Can Be Easy In the past, I used print resources for researching because they were the only means available to conduct research. Computers and the internet was a technology that was not available for individuals. The Public Library was my main source of obtaining research. With the advent to the internet and personal computers, that has changed. Although still useful, I have noticed libraries have a tendency to have out of date material, or pending on the size, no material at all. Some items may be already checked out and are unavailable making researching more taxing. With the internet, I have everything at my fingertips just a few keystrokes away. There is a large drawback to using the internet for researching, but it can be limited to a manageable level. Although with some pitfalls, I believe the internet has become the best available avenue for research and can be accomplished easily. Online researching has become the go to outlet for researching information. I have the ability for find anything and everything I need online. Information is current and everywhere! I just need to know what I’m looking for. Although not without faults, the ability to have this vast sea of knowledge is exhilarating. Like any relationship, the internet can be a fickle partner. I have noticed I need to have a give and take attitude while researching. For every positive aspect of internet research, there may be a negative one. After gathering...

...象。本文对此也提出了弥补方法，一是加大在移动互联网端的广告投入，二是通过移动 互联网营销的实际案例，提出移动互联网时代新型的更有效的营销方式。 关键词：移动广告 中外对比 移动互联网营销 I Abstract With the substantial popularization of mobile devices and the development of wireless Internet technology, mobile Internet media market has shown an amazing boom in China. To differentiate the similarities and differences between mobile Internet media market in China and overseas, I collect data in terms of market scale, mobile ad target industry and mobile Internet media. The result shows that there is still a huge gap for Chinese mobile Internet advertising market to cover. Although the future of Chinese mobile Internet ad is bright and promising, it is still facing a major problem which is lack of marketing. I find that the percentage of time people spent on mobile devices is disproportionately larger than that of the money advertisers invest in mobile Internet advertising. In order to solve this problem, two ways are recommended. First, the advertisers should pay attention to the surge of this new media and invest more in mobile ad. Second, the advertiser should utilize the special characters of mobile Internet and create new and efficient ways of marketing which can only be effective in this upcoming mobile Internet age.

...NHS Internet Services Research: An Annotated Bibliography First technology solutions: Satellite Internet Business Internet: Select Plans. (n.d.). Retrieved November 24, 2014, from http://business.hughesnet.com/bi/resources/business-internet-gen4 The HughesNet website explains the viability of satellite internet service for businesses. The information provided demonstrates how the HughesNet Gen4 service can provide high speed internet access for multiple remote branch offices. HughesNet demonstrates how it compares favorably to other services such as cable or DSL (digital subscriber line) internet. Satellite Internet has the ability to synchronously transmit and receive data from a small client satellite dish on Earth and communicate with an orbiting satellite above Earth's equator. The orbiting satellite transmits and receives its information to a ground server on Earth called the Network Operations Center (NOC). The NOC is connected to the Internet or private network. All communication made from a satellite dish connection to the Internet must flow through the ground server. HughesNet satellite service has the flexible capabilities of reaching every office in the NHS network as well as any new locations that NHS may add as they expand their operations. Satellite service provides speeds of up to 15 Mbps, which exceeds the necessary speed required to transfer large 100MB files between each NHS office and their partner in New York City. HughesNet Gen4 service can...

... Which Browser is Best: Determining the Benefits to Each Browser The purpose of this research paper is to take the reviews from users to help highlight both the positives as well as the negatives of the top four widely used Internet browsers, which will ultimately help determine which browser is the best available for consumers to use. The purpose of this study is to determine which browser is the best out of the four, and to highlight the best features from each browser, and determine their significance on how each feature is. The significance of the study is to analyze the information given on each browser and translate it into information that Internet users can take away to help them determine which browser is the best one for them between Internet Explorer, Safari, Firefox, and Chrome. The Internet has become more readily available across the globe which has caused many software developers to create their own Internet browser. In the past couple of years there has been a flood of Internet browsers available for use (Bidgoli, 2009). When the Internet was only available in select countries there was only a select number of browsers that a user could use to access the Internet. The Internet is only going to become available to more people which will most likely bring more Internet browsers to the market. There are currently millions of users that are accessing the Internet daily and each browser developer is fighting for their share of users in an effort to prevent...

Bitcoin is an innovative payment network and a new kind of money. It was created in 2009 by an unknown person using the alias Satoshi Nakamoto. Bitcoins is an online payment system introduced in 2009 as an open-source software. It is a peer to peer or P2P system where users can transact directly without needing an intermediary. Transactions are verified by network nodes and recorded in the block chain or public distributed ledger. This ledger uses its own unit of account, bitcoin. The system works without a central repository or single administrator, which has led the US Treasury to categorize it as a decentralized virtual currency. (www.wikipedia.com, 2015) Bitcoins...

...Research Topic: Is it fair to say that by and large the internet is unregulated? Why or Why not? Internet is basically the world-wide network that connects computer worldwide via TCP/IP protocol for the purpose of exchange of information. At Global level, the Internet is highly unregulated. It lacks the common global authority that regulates the Internet at global level. Nations have law regarding what comes in and goes out through their physical national borders. However, such law does not exist in terms of Internet which is globally available to everyone. There are countries like Saudi Arabia that does regulate internet at national level for example through blocking various websites that are not good for health of nation. Although such blocking may prove effective but considering the growth of internet and number of websites, this is becoming a complex task. To regulate the internet at global level, there is strong need for the authority and framework. There are range of laws at jurisdictional level that need to be considered similar to international trade. To highlight, there are organisations in place for the governance of Internet known as Multi-Stakeholder Organisations (MSOs). One example of such organisation is Information Security Operations Centre (ISOC). However, the general public is unaware of existence of such organisations. The little utilisation of such MSOs in the governance of Internet has led to the system failure in the current legal framework. The purpose...

...JetBlue Airways Yields from JFK, LGA and EWR MGMT 642 M7-Written Assignment 4 Alois Nyandoro Embry Riddle Aeronautical University Abstract This mini research analyzed fares for JetBlue Airways flights from New York metropolitan airports [New York Kennedy (JFK), Newark (EWR) and LaGuardia(LGA)] to four selected destinations; Orlando (MCO), Fort Lauderdale (FLL), Austin (AUS) and San Francisco (SFO). The objective was to establish if JetBlue enjoys higher yields for flights from JFK than LGA or EWR. The result was that fares for flights from JFK and LGA are similar and consistently lower than flights from EWR. The reason could be that JFK is JetBlue Airways hub and by proximity LGA could be considered to have similar hub factors. This research explored the hub effect on fares. However, other factors should be explored and analyzed to establish and pin down the specific reasons behind the fare differences between the NY metropolitan airports. Introduction JetBlue is a low cost carrier with its headquarters in Long Island City. It uses JFK as its hub and operates to 75 destinations in multiple cities. It is the largest airline in the Northeast of United States. It flies to different destinations out of the three major airports (JFK, EWR and LGA) serving New York/New Jersey metropolitan area. Given the relative proximity of these airports, one would assume that JetBlue has similar fares to same destinations. After deregulation of 1978, airline pricing increasingly...

...Arturo G Pizarro GEN105 Week 3 Analyzing Internet Sources 1) What are the three or more best practices you learned about using the Internet for Academic Purposes? How do you think you might use them? Using the internet for academic research is different to using it for leisure and pleasure. Making best use of search engines help you identify information on a particular subject. One of the common search engines is Google, which, personally, helps me a lot when I need to find something on the internet. Also, I think using Gateways can help you, because they are good sources of quality-checked resources, which have been selected carefully from many websites sorted into specific subjects. Finally, using the information in a well manner, because when you use sources of information, books, articles, and internet sources; all that needs to be acknowledge by citing the work. 2) How can you determine if the information on a website is reputable and worthwhile for a research paper? Anyone can put anything on the internet. Whenever you need to verify for the information that you are trying to investigate, many things need to be checked, like if the information is out of date, or if it is distorted, or simply untrue. So when you find what you are looking for, it is always good to consider who wrote it, or the credentials, or who is this written for. A key of confirming that the information is accurate, up-to-date, reliable, and appropriate is to check this information...

...the Celebrity gossip. As far as politics go, I don’t believe anything until I have done a full thorough investigation for myself to see if anything is true or just gossip.2. “How do you approach research?”First you need to know exactly what you are researching and where you would like to find the information such as the library, the courthouse, the internet. It all really depends on what you’re researching. You then need to identify what would you like your end result to be, what you would like to find and how you would deem your research successful. You then need to compare what information you already have and what else you need. You will then need to contrast and analyze your researching and what exactly you have researched.3. “What are your biggest challenges in doing research?”My biggest challenges when doing research is having like a road block, not knowing where to go next or where to possibly turn to. While some websites like wikis may be great for some purposes, they are just not all that well adapted to research. Sometimes it is also difficult to weed out what is true and false in some case.4. “What are some tips that you think will help you and others in conducting research?”· I think having a variety of options available to conduct research is a big help. Such as the internet, the library, books and newspapers.· I think also keeping everything that you have researched in an organized manner will make it easier for you go to go back to at a later time if need...

...been doing thorough research to get down to the bottom of the problem, and have narrowed the illness down to a possible improper chemical disposal at a nearby company. We are doing everything in our legal power to get this unfortunate matter taken care of. II. Diagnosis The first thing I would do would be to contact those residents whom I know have been contracted with the illness, and ask them questions related to, where were they at the on-set of the illness? How long have they had said symptoms? Did anyone who may have been with them get sick as well? Were they exposed to anything unusual that may have gotten them sick? I would ask many questions that could help me get to the cause of the problem. a. Symptoms Here I would keep a book and log every symptom from every person I interviewed. This would allow me to find a possible pattern in related symptoms. I would also document ages and genders of residents who got the illness, so to see if there is a difference in children versus adult symptoms. b. Medications/Vaccines After evaluating ill residents’ symptoms, I would then ask them questions about what they have done to fight the illness. What medications have they tried? Has their doctor prescribed anything? What, if anything, has helped? What hasn’t helped? This way I can recommend these options to my residents who have contracted the illness. III. Investigation This is where I would tell my residents about every type of research I have done that...

...Olusola Oyedele-23122 Reflection This course has really helped in finding research on the internet. When i was giving the topic ‘predictions for Eurozone Crisis’, i was thinking how i am going to get the materials because i do not know so much about internet research and i found that search engines on the internet are faster that researching manually. Also, this presentation has giving me a wider knowledge of European crisis which i never thought about. It makes me to have an interest in listening to news, reading newspapers,it makes to know what is happening in the UK economically even globally which i believe it is an addition to me as part of my learning activity. Despite the knowledge i acquire in this group presentation, we had problems with communications and organization. It was so hard to plan our schedules on how we meet with each other in order to discuss how to go about the coursework. We started the semester off very strong, with lots of energy and hardwork for the coursework but not much direction. Each week, instead of reporting on our coursework , we are only talking about the problems with our group and this has made us to lack behind the scheduled time. We are five in a group,it has been so hard to make in contact with the other three, i managed to get hold of one to join me to do the presentation. Although, in a little way...

...ITS BACKGROUND Introduction Internet has been in existence since 1950. This began with point to point communication between main frame computers and terminals, expanded to point to point connections between computers and the early research into packet switching. Packed switched networks such as ARPANET, Mark I, Merit network, Tymnet and Telenet were developed in late 1960’s and early 1970’s using a variety of protocols. Until now, internet has been using and it is still on the road of innovation. Nowadays, World Wide Web is used for the students’ reference and studies. They search in the internet what they want. In just one click, thousands of answer comes out. On the other hand, few students use books as their reference. Some of them do not want to browse authentic books, hundreds of books in the library just to find the answer in their question. Instead, they just use internet to find their answer easily. Moreover, Internet is faster and efficient. You will spend hours finding the right authentic book for the answer in your question but you can also find answers in the internet with just one click. Both are forms of research. There are reasons behind why students must stay with authentic books but there are also reasons why they must choose internet. Internet will continue revolutionize the world even in the fields of study. Statement of the Problem Nowadays, students chose internet as their reference in their studies. Truly...
