Creative Searching


1. Go to WDYL websearch by Google and type in technology.  Look around.  Describe something you learned.  Do not repeat anyone else's post, if you do, you will lose half of your points on this question. YIKES!  Be sure to read previous posts!  (20)

2. Go to WDYL websearch and type in your own topic.  What did you pick? What did you learn? (20)

3. How useful is this? (10)

  1. 1. In December 25-31, 2011 for some reason there was a lot less interest in technology.

    2. I picked prom because I was curious how early in the school people would start searching it. People start searching prom in the beginning of December.

    3. Not very useful, Just fun.

  2. 1. I found that there is a patent for a voice recognition technology to capture geoscience data. It's interesting, it's a patent that is only used for inputing data like the weight of rocks... Weird.

    2. I picked frogs because I wanted to see how much people liked them, plus I absolutely love frogs. I found out that frogs are most commonly researched in Australia as well as the 3 top cities on the list were from Australia, just interesting.

    3. Quite useless, but ver fun to play around with and see what the news and trends are on certain things.

  3. 1) After searching for a couple of minutes, I discovered a news story about how Apple won a court case against Samsung regarding the similarity in smart phones. The Samsung company is now going to lose at least $1.05 Billion dollars.

    2) I decided to look up interesting aspects on the subject of Film. When I browsed through WYDL though, I found very little and learned about Film patents and how to say film in over 50 languages.

    3) This web search narrows any subject down, but some of the references are not very relevant. I wouldn't recommend this web search.

    2. I chose giuitars and I found that there is currently a patent for an automatic guitar tuner for electric guitar.

  6. 1. I found a google application that allows you to view many items of technology in 3D. This can give people a better understanding of the piece of technology.

    2. I searched skateboarding and found out that the area with the most skateboarding traffic is New Zealand. It definitely surprised me seeing as that California is such a huge place for skateboarding.

    3. It is not a very useful search engine, but it can give you the latest news on the thing that you search and it gives you some interesting references.

    2. I searched cessna 172. It was cool I learned all about a couple airplane crashes that happened in canada this weekend. It surprised me all the information that they had. Loved the 3D model of the aircraft.

    3. It is great if you love a certain subject. It can tell you almost anything you want to know. It would be useful if your doing a project on one subject or idea and you can find like everything on there.

    2.) I searched "Google" and I learned that Google is extremely popular and doesn't mix with Apple any more.

  23. 1. Apparently, in the last 12 months the interest for technology has been gradually declining. Obviously a chart shows that the interest fluctuates, but averagely people aren't caring about technology gradually.

    2. I chose to search game programming and found that HTML5 might make a breakthrough as the new way of programming games.

    3. This is significant because programmers might have to learn the new language and games themselves might change as a result of this.

  24. 1. Wow i was kinda surprised to see that the interest in technology is declining, however interest in the iphone is currently going up. I guess that just kinda shows that people care more about a product then the methods used for making that product.
    2. I picked meme, the interest in that has spiked a ton in recent years, probably due to the fact that more bored teenagers have access to computers now. WDYL has some nifty tools but i dont find it very useful
    3. Personally i dont think WDYl is very good for research, i mean it would be good if you wanted to find pictures or send an email about that subject. Its just not a very useful tool

  25. 1. I learned that a cell phone deletes a voice mail after it hasn't been touched by anyone after 2 weeks! I've never heard anything like this before!

    2. I searched water parks into WDYL because it sounded like something fun to do. It let me watch videos of water slides and look at a 3D model of a water park!

    3. I would say this site could be useful depending on what your doing. If your doing a report on something, it could kind of help but if your doing a HUGE Project I just think it wouldn't help to much.

  26. 1)I discovered that by tying in technology, google provides different sources to find any information about Technology. One of these is Google News. In Google News I saw that NASA's "Mohawk Guy" is going to be hosting a radio show. It will be on a rock radio station created by NASA.
    2) I searched "Ford Bronco." I have a a Bronco and I knew they were popular but I didnt realize how many of them were clustered in certain areas. Phoenix has the second highest popularity When it comes to a Bronco, following behind Denver, Colorado.
    3) I feel that WDYL is very useful. It comes up with 3D diagrams, patents, news articles, pictures, and anything else relative to the searched topic. All you have to do is type in what you want and all your options pop up. Even when researching a topic, you could find books that will be helpful to read.

  27. 1. I found out i could start a large discussion on moderator over technology, and here opinions from people all over.

  33. 1. First off, I read everyones posts and I realized that if there is enough inforation on thie search of technology for 33+ people to write on, it must be pretty cool. So I looked around for a bit and found that under the news section Walmart is trying a enw technology that will make it so people can scan their groceries as they shop and it would eventually lead to less cashiers being needed. COOL! :D

    2. Well, I searched Cody Simpson and I found out that I could, "Scour the earth for cody simpson" and which thats preety creepy I found that this site has a lot of info on it! From translating of languages to news aboiut your topic, its like a categorized google search!

    3. I sort of covered this in my last response but I feel that this could be useful for when I'm bored and I wanna just learn something new. It is really cool but not on my top five list of go to sites.
