How to find EVERYTHING on the Internet?
“ How do you find that on the web ? ”
This one is for my Mom.
For all questions, Jess with an iPhone has the answers. The truth is, the World Wide Web has the answers and Jess just so happen to Google them.
So, how do we get Google to fetch the information for us ? It’s actually easy. Much easier than getting your dogs to fetch the newspaper for you. Because all we need to do is say “open sesame” in the right way.
The key point to find the right information on the internet is ASKing in the right way. Pretty much like in the real life, right attitudes get the answer right.
On the Google main page, or at that long white bar on top of a browser, type in the questions. The trick is, first, just type in the questions. And second, don’t take the eyes away from that white long bar while typing; of course, you are allowed to look down the keyboard if you are one-finger typers.
First, questions.
Type the questions for searching, and don’t worry about spelling, capitalization and make the sentence as direct as possible. For things we don’t even know HOW to ask, just type the keywords and separate them by space, and don’t worry about the order of words.
While typing, remember the very important second tip: LOOK. Based on the words we type, Google will keep showing searches that have been asked before. Point is, we would never be the first lucky one to ask THIS, so look out for the suggestions that Google shows while typing and the chances are you will find just what you are looking for. Click the suggestion, and that will save us a lot of time.
Examples:
If you wonder what is Spongebob, type in “ what is spongebob?”
If you are looking for recipes for salsa, type “ salsa” and look at the suggestions. Here is salsa recipes, click it and we just save ourselves trouble for typing words.
If you like to know movies starting from 1950s, type 1950s, m, o, and before we finish the word movies, Google already have suggestions ready for us.
Couple words that we can add with keywords:
// wiki ( ex: work wiki)
Searching information from Wikipedia, the biggest free online Encyclopedia, created by all humans.
// define ( ex: define word)
We can easily find the definition of any words today. Just type “define” in front of any words, and Google will fetch the definition right away.
// =
If we want to do conversions, just do this: 1 inch = cm
100 f = c
3 euro = usd
One more fun thing to do is that we can even let Google do the calculation for us. Simply type the questions, such as 8 * 9-9+35, and this is what we will see after hitting the enter.

Tech lingo: web address or website?
Sentence one:
What’s your website?
This sentence actually means, “What is the web address of your company/business?”
Although the word website is not equal to web address; however, this is a common error we don’t mind that much today.
Sentence two:
I type the web address in the URL bar.
Web address / uniform resource locator, abbreviated URL

The uniform resource locator, aka URL, is commonly known as the web address. It’s a unique code that marks a website location, so we can find a website on the internet. It’s like the address of our house.
URL bar
This is that long white bar on the top of browsers.
And it often has too many characters in it. And we no longer need to type the “http:// “ anymore. Just type www.name-of-the-website.com, and the browser will take you there.
Here is a normal 21st century daily conversation:
“What’s your website?”
What is the web address of your website?
“It’s techmeslowly.com”“Ok, I type the address. Here it comes!”
Type the web address in the URL bar, located on the top of the browser. Then I hit the enter key, and the browser shows me the website.

What is Wikipedia?
Wikipedia is a free online Encyclopedia, and the most unique part is that Wikipedia is created by web users around the world. Readers can find almost everything on it, and if one can’t find the articles, he/she can create the articles themselves.

Here comes the question that senior students often ask, “ How accurate is the information on Wikipedia? ”
Wikipedia has a standard process to approve pages, articles and knowledge. And It’s not that easy to put false information on Wikipedia. Also on the basis of the research, the accuracy of Wikipedia is between 68% to 97.5%, depending on the subjects.* However, bear in mind: even though the information is accurate, it’s not all that complete.
This may sound alarming for users who are not familiar with Wikipedia. However, put it in plain English, this only means Wikipedia is a good place to “get to know” whatever you are looking for, and find grounds where you can start the research. Most of the time, the issue that readers face today is not about false information, but more about biases coming from authors.
At the end, as we talk about in What Does WWW really stand for?, always check more websites and other information sources before you make up your mind.
