Google the Coolest

If you know me, you would know I am definitely not a tech-savvy person. I am such a lagger and 'lacker' in the newest and most current technological devices, softwares or programs. I supposed many of you would have known how to use Google Drive and Google docs eon years ago, but sadly I only learnt it last year, and am glad that I acquired it! I mean, better late than never right? There are just so many things to explore on the Internet, and it is impossible to learn it all even throughout my entire life. But let us take baby steps from Abel's class...

So one thing I explored today was the function of Google image. In the past I would always use the default function - the basic search. But after this week's lesson I realised there is an advanced search, which really makes my life so much easier!

For example, when I use the basic search to search for 'India pink textiles' on Google image, it comes out so many different pictures which may not be relevant to what I'm looking for. And sometimes it frustrates the hell out of me. Take a look at the picture below and you would understand.

Look at some of the pictures, do they even look close to what I'm searching for?! -.-

And then comes Google blessing me with the Advanced search tab (HALLELUJIAH~~) It has definitely made my life so much easier.

Hehe see what I mean?

Also, I have recently downloaded Google Earth on my laptop, and it has been so much fun! 

Checking out Sydney heh heh

I am still learning how to use Google Earth but it has been pretty user friendly thus far, especially for an IT noob like me. But I'm pretty sure I will get the hang of it soon!

However, the downside of the Internet is that it kills the surprise in you everytime you learn something. I am going Sydney during the holidays and am in a dilemma whether to use Google Earth to check out some places. It leaves no surprise for me! Oh wells, that is the problem with virtual touring.
