Algorithms

Most of what people were using the personal computer for was something like word processing. After the invention of the World Wide Web by Tim Berners-Lee, the ideas for uses of the internet became endless. It was a way to connect using telephones. Using a modem allowed you to do data transfer through telephone wires; you could dial up a main frame. Prodigy Communications Corporation allowed access to an online service that offered its subscribers access to a broad range of networked services, including news, weather, shopping, bulletin boards, games, polls, expert columns, banking, stocks, travel, and a variety of other features. American Online popularly known as AOL, allowed internet access to other people. AOL introduced the social aspect of the internet. But it wasn’t until Google that the internet experience would be altered. What set apart Google from all other search engines was that it had the best algorithms. It had the best logical sequences for searching. The search didn’t just happen as soon as it was plugged in; Google team members would search the web and find the best possible results so that when it came time for a user to search for a specific thing, Google would have already found it before its users were looking for it. Google changed web browsing. Search engines made the web a different environment. In new media work, search engine optimization is the big thing. Google is now working on how to get things up in their rankings. They want to maximize the positive things and minimize the negative things. As many of you already know Google is in the process of perfecting their newest development called Google+. Their plan is to utilize a users profile in order to relate their searches on the internet to be more specific and personalized although this is just one of the many features that Google+ will offer. With other unique developments still in the process, Google has high hopes for the network in these next upcoming years.
