Hello class!
My name is Gretchen Rodriguez. I am completing a Bachelor’s degree in Information Networking and Telecommunications. I always feel a little nervous when I have classes where I need to write long assignments since my native language is Spanish.
Today, we search for everything on the web. If I feel like eating Italian, I look for the best Italian food near me, if I have to visit a specialist, I look for the best near me. However, my experience is often not the best or does not resemble that of those who recommend that business.
I am interested in researching how the search engine and its ads influence our decision-making. I would like to read more from the textbook to make a better-informed decision on the specific topic adequately.
A good name for our group would be The invincibles.
I wish you all a wonderful semester !!
Hey Gretchen!!
I think your writing style is great, very clear and concise! I am also intrigued by your research idea and cant wait to see what you find out this semester.
Search engines are a hot topic right now with recent interests in privacy. I always find it interesting that people still see them as an impartial index of the internet. But most search engines provide results very focused on selling you something new. I look forward to your research.
Hi Gretchen, I like your idea for a research topic. I’ve always been curious to see how search engines decide what to show us first when we search things, but I’ve never really taken the time to find out.
Also, I’m on your team and I think your suggestion for our team name works!
