We learn something new everyday. Whether it’s through word of mouth or more likely surfing the web, people are learning. I find that you can’t avoid the inevitable so why not embrace it. Learning has always been of interest to me because it is always expanding and will never stop.
In searching for installing memory in a computer the best website I found was the HowStuffWorks. It gives a detailed description on how to install or upgrade your Ram or you can watch a step by step video. There are several other websites that were given in order for you to have the best information needed for your query. The HowStuffWorks Web site offers and interesting amount of information about animals. As a Pre-Vet major it is fascinating to see how different animals work. A cicada can produce a force of 36 lbs. of pressure when hit by a motorcycle moving at 85 mph. Search-and-Rescue dogs are taught to smell out people in mountains of ruble and some dogs have been able to detect cancer in their owners. This website offers facts about pets, wild, exotic, and even extinct animals that people would never have imagined.
The Betty Crocker website was extremely informational about homemade biscuits and tips to make them perfect. I enjoy making breads and cinnamon rolls from scratch but I always find that my biscuits just aren’t quite up to par. The website claims that placing the dough between two dowel rods and rolling or patting the evenly and gently between the rods will make them light, flaky and the same thickness. Betty Crocker gives advice to those of us who don’t have time to cook every meal by simply cooking ahead of time and how to retain the best quality of the food when freezing. The Food Network website allows a person to create their own recipe book by choosing favorite recipes from the site and placing them in a recipe box. This allows for easy access and less clutter of your kitchen. While exploring these sites I couldn’t help but notice the amount of advertising on new appliances that have come out. As with all things this could be good and bad. Most sites have reviews about new products but these reviews could simply be biased based on the fact that the consumer has never used anything else. The website itself could be supported by a specific brand and therefore reduces the competitiveness of the market. However, there are also benefits to marketing certain appliances. Not every appliance will work for different things being cooked, if a recipe calls for a special tool then that particular site will generally have a way for the consumer to purchase that appliance.
The World Wide Web is a wellspring of information. I was able to look up how particular things work and different recipes all within an hour. We live in an information age that no longer understands going to the library and copying out of a book. People are simply turning on their computers and accessing complete libraries and documents that would never had been available to them without the Internet.
