Week 3

As much as I hate to say it, I think there is too much information on the internet. When I first started using the internet in middle school I could have spent 16 hours a day fascinated with all the information that could be accessed, but now when researching things it is almost impossible to come across relevant information unless you are using the universities databases. I don't necessarily think that there is too much information, but I do think that the information out there is too hard to navigate. I don't think we should stop people from being producers of the internet, but I think we need to develop some "super" search engine that can get rid of the stuff that pops up when you are researching a specific topic. However, I guess my conclusion is that having too much information isn't always such a bad problem too have. I would rather have to sort through too much information than be searching everywhere for any information.

What steps can be made to make the internet easier to navigate?

Which current search engines do you think find the most relevant consistent information?

How can we get rid of the overload of information, without taking away a person's freedom to be a producer online?
