Reflection on invincible web

For my topic, “discuss the role of robots in society” the search results are not as desired. And the results are mostly journals and data information. For research topics like that, it is actually quite impossible to get research information. As the database is not updated or that the subject is not widely discussed.

I still find that any normal search engine/meta-search/subject directories can do the search better for my topic. Still in any case, the idea of using the invincible web is feasible in any situation where you need detailed information on a common subject of research. Maybe like the programming codes for reference is needed for my diploma, it may come in handy or another research topic which is more commonly discussed and it is added into the database.

For me, I will not use the invincible web unless in need detailed information/data of common topic for research. And also, most of the results can be found on search engines rather than going through the database and not retrieving the right information. This also reduces the time to search the database for the exact needed information/data.

I find that the wiki sharing is very useful. As it is where similar topic of interest is shared. For me, I only managed to post my information found. I didn’t have time to look through the other posts to add in my share in the other posts. I find that wiki-ing is interesting. As I can learn from my mistakes which people can correct as they overwrite my post.
