Comparing Google

I thought it was very interesting in Web Literacy for Educators the little section on comparing google of the United States to the google in China. First of all I did not know that google could be different from country to country. I heard that China actually tried to ban google. However, is that even possible? I wouldn't think deleting a search engine that exists in other countries would not make since because you could easily access it another way.
Another thing that I thought was interesting was by going to http://www.langreiter.com/exec/google-vs-google.html you could type something in and get a comparison between the two googles. China's google depending on the subject can be either have a more liberal stance or a more conservative stance. This is not like the United States google. By moving over the dots with the cursor you can see the how the two versions results differ. I found this very fascinating.

After reading the first two chapters in "Web Literacy for Educators" I learned several small facts concerning technology. For example what URL stands for or what search engines fit for different groups of people. It is nice learning new things (especially things that have to do with technology)!

Just thought I share these couple points with you. :-)
