section 7 - Summarize this Activity

Summary:
My first thoughts were that i do like the look and feel of Wikipedia. For a good topic such as 'internet', it was compact as an overview, yet comprehensive enough to find lots of more related topics. It was very easy to find more specific (and related) topics. It also gives a good overview quick read of the overall subject. the downside would be it would not lead directly to 'scholarly' material, i.e. journals, articles, books. (well maybe books)
Although, GVRL, is a much better portal to find scholarly material, espcially the type i would have to use in the future, not just for 'college' term papers, but when i'm out in the work world, in my new vocation. I'm sure that this new found knowledge of a source for scholarly resources will be with me for a long time, beyond college era.
During this first Assignment, i have discovered the meaning of some of the terms that i have heard, but didn't really know of. Such as 'Deep Web', invisible web, blogging.
Even the concept of using a blog as an online, on going daily journal, with it's bulit in tools for organization and sharing (via web), was a nice addition to my 'tool box'.
