Practical 6 reflection=)

I feel that using invisible web to search for information is useful to a certain extent. Every search facility has its own advantage and disadvantage. On the invisible web, I get articles which are more related to my research topic, however, some research mediums like images and videos which are relevant, are hard to come by.

However, knowing about the invisible web is good knowledge, because it has widen my area of research. Now, I have many search facilities which I can use to search for information. Every search facility has its own effectiveness. It is how you apply yourself to it, that makes it useful. I have alot to learn about search facilities, and after knowing a few, I am glad that I have learned new things which I never thought I would know.

I might use invisible web for my diploma because it might be able to help me do research regarding my work on Environment Design. I will have to practically apply my knowledge of invisible web to see whether it can help me for my diploma.=)

I have learn that the research I made to be added on to the wiki page of my Topic is redundant because most of the research has been made by other students. This is because Tsunamis don't happen everyday and it is a major event and it happens when there is climate change or when disaster strikes. Therefore, I can only research on the latest tsunami occurrences, which I find hard to do because most of them are not updated yet either because it is still ongoing or latest information has not been updated yet.
