Dear Diary
This post is more like a diary entry so, you might want to skip it if you think reading others' diaries is bad manners (just joking). Anyways, let me start my blah blah blah. Here it comes...
I was just pondering if internet is an over-rated place and I think I have come to a conclusion that it really IS. I can't believe how I can't find nearly anything good on the internet; I mean internet can serve the entertainment purposes but, if I want to do a study-related research, find a specific topic or search for a specific fact, internet has NADA to offer. I am sick of searching on Google and Yahoo! for hours only to waste my time.
A recent Microsoft Newsletter is a good example of why I am so disgusted with Internet, It said that if I want to find a specific topic, I should make my keywords more specific, it gave an example something like: if I want the name of the first F1 champion from USA, I should try the keywords "Who was the first F1 champion from USA?" to get a quicker result. The writer said that he got the answer (with the recommended keywords) on the first page only. I thought hey! let's try it, I typed in the keywords and got NO fruitful results, I tried everything from removing quotation marks to using different synonyms of the search words but, only to find out that to get the answer, either I should read a (very) long Wikipedia article on F1 racing or end my quest.
Ok, I admit I exaggerated a bit but, my point is that I seldom find what I am looking for on a search engine. I don't think there is any fault in my searching techniques, perhaps, it has something to do with my location. I think that the search engines provide locality-specific search results and Google.com perhaps has better search results than Google.co.in.
Another thing I did today (besides studying my textbook) was a little bit of sketching. I drew a Magneto cartoon in my scrap-book. I wish I had a scanner to post the picture here 'cause I am proud of that sketch. Ok, enough of my ranting & boasting, now.
I am gone! Bye!
