Entry # 2

For one of my classes I have to research and write about the concept of social phobias. I used google as my search engine and I found an interesting web page:Psych central . com. I tried to answer " How do phobias come about?". Since this is a casual phrase, I decided to use "phobias the brain. I got approximatly one million results. When I typed it in with I got approximatly 57 million results. That's a big difference! I think it was because of the Boolean searching. The word AND combines two things together while OR separates the search and gives you more results. For my search I questioned CURRENCY, because new technology in the medical field is always changings so I needed a currenta article. I considered AUTHORITY as well. The page I read is set up by doctors not a medical student. Also OBJECTIVITY, I want information about my topic, not somebody trying to sell me something. The object of that site was clear, they simply want to give the public pure information. After performing this search I realized that C.A.R.D.I.O is very important when it comes to researching. C.A.R.D.I.O helps you find the exact page that you want to read and use valid information from.
