Web Week 5

This week, we discussed search engines and directories. We saw how directories list websites under useful headings and sub-headings. This is a good way of keeping tabs on websites, however it is not very efficient.
Directories have to add websites to the database manually, whereas search engines update automatically with the use of web crawlers. Search engines are just huge databases which a version of the internet on them.

During the labs, we were given corrections for our blog posts. We also studied for a Computer Architecture test. Colin gave us a link to a helpful video on number bases to assist us.
