Additional Assignment #1

a. What are the educational implications of searches such as Google Squared provides?
Google Squared provides a bunch of different information on one page. This helps you to compare and contrast different aspects of different things.
b. What are the educational implications of searches such as WolframAlpha provides?
WolframAlpha provides you with many different pieces of information about whatever key word or phrase you type in. This would be helpful if you needed to know a bunch of different things about one certain thing.
c. Did you know about Google Squared before this assignment?
No.
d. Did you know about Wolfram Alpha before this assignment?
No.
e. Reread your comments about Did You Know. Have my comments altered your thinking about anything you saw, heard, read, or reported for the Did You Know assignment? If not, say so. If so, describe how in as much detail as necessary.
No, because I did not necessarily hone in on any of the statistics I heard. There were too many to really do that. I focused more on the big picture.
f. What did you learn from this exercise about how you react to and deal with "statistics"?
I have learned that you cannot always see the big picture when hearing a whole bunch of statistics. You need to research statistics and look at the big picture before you jump to conclusions about things.
