Reflection: Please reflect on what you learned while completing this assignment.
Why are these advanced, Internet searching techniques important to you? Support your ideas with
specific examples. These advanced internet searching techniques are important to me because it
will lower my search and make it more specific. Like for example if I am typing a homework
assigmet on world peace, and I can lower the searching to a specific kind of world peace that I
want. And it would be less searching for the right link. Also if I need to find a restraint, I can type in
a more dicriptive search to find the right restraint. The advanced internet search helps me a lot now
and I will see my self using it in the future
