The internet. It is where this generation finds the answers to all of their questions. For example, "Where is the nearest mall? When is that assignment due? How do I get season tickets? What is my favorite celebrity doing at this very moment?" The internet is a tool that gives an individual access an unimaginable amount of information. Search engines and subject directories are how a computer narrows down the massive expanse of data to give each person exactly what they are looking for.
Search engines are an essential part of the internet. General search engines use "bots" to collect data from the web. These bots index and sort the data so that information can be found quickly. Then, when a person is looking for something, they type in keywords about their topic of interest and the search engine gives them different websites that contain those keywords. There are general search engines such as Google, Yahoo, and Bing that basically search the entire web. You can narrow your search by using search engines that search only specific areas. For example, you can search videos, images, news, and search engines.

Another type of information search is subect directories. Sometimes using general search engines can leave you with hundreds of pages of irrelevant results. Computers are only machines, but the human mind can process and analyse information. Subject directories are internet data sorted and organized by actual people. Therefore, these searches often give more selective and related matches.
