Assignment 7: New York Times Article

 

1. What problems does the article mention that children run into when they use search engines?

  • they try to search for the information like their homework is written and the results don't come up as easily as if they knew how to search for things, like using keywords or looking for the answers in different words.

 


2. What suggestions have been offered for how search engines can improve their product to lessen children’s problems searching?

  • “We’re giving them a tool that was made for adults,” said Michael H. Levine so now what they are trying to do is the following create or change a search engine to make it easier for children and adults to search for tings they need. in other words to find a way to make Google easier to use and look for things.

 


3. Do you search using keywords or questions? How does the article characterize these two types of searching?

 
  • I do use key words because I know that if I look for things as they are in my homework I will not be able to find the answers I am looking for. what Google does with keywords is that if you start typing it will show you the more relatable answers to your keyword.

 


4. Have you tried using images or videos to search? How does the article characterize this type of searching?

  • when you stars searching for something in Google it will offer you description, images, videos from you tube, and other things that are relatable to what you are looking for, but when you look for an image it will do the same thing of looking things relatable with the words you are typing.


5. What advice would you give to Internet search engine developers (like Google or Bing) for how they should improve their product? Do you think any of the improvements mentioned in the article are particularly promising? Why?

  • to my mind it will be a great idea to make Google more specific in the searches because when you look for some things there are so many options to chose that you get overwhelmed and some of them are not even relates with the subject you are looking for.
