chapter 3 and 4

just got done reading chapter three and four. There was allot of new information for me . I didn't realize that most e-mail accounts are free , I thought they had small fees. Another thing I learned was that windows had a profile setting kind of like a facebook. As i don't use the sites i had no clue. Also their privacy settings were set very carefully it was nice to see that you had control over your info. Also that the sharing photos on windows without e-mails that's a pretty neat and convenient asset to to windows.
                    
                   Chapter four was all a about search  engines the first thing i learned was that there were allot more than i thought! Clusty,dogpile,wolfram alpha,ect.. I also learned about how a search engine worked .I use them every day and don't know much about then nor do many people. I had no clue about web robot or spider that searches the engines database.Another  thing i learned was how helpful advanced search can be after reading i try ed it out and it was very helpful .

Chapter 2

Just finished reading chapter 2.There was allot of new information for me but one was the pages on Netiqutte. Netiqutte is phrase used for commonly accepted rules on the Internet. Not being someone who uses Internet communication all that much i had never really thought about it. One rule that stuck with me was the  one about not using all caps because it comes off is if you are shouting. This is something i ve probably done in the past and never thought about it but it does make sense when you think about it. The second thing i took from this chapter was learning about Opera mail and Thunderbird . Pretty much always using  comcast mail there was allot to learn about both these programs. There are allot of similarity's with small differences .My favorite was not in the functions but in  the layouts of screen. I thought that Thunderbird was nice open and easy to maintain but not enough to make me switch.The third subject that i took allot from was the pages on spam. This subject was allot more complex than i had originally conceived it to be. Originally just thinking of it as junk mail and not much harm was completely wrong. This was a vary informative section one that anyone with a computer should read.
