Google

Google, an information technology, is the No.1 searching website in the world. If anyone has a question, people usually just type it in words on the Google searching bar of the website. Google will give you the answers by using links and sitemaps to other websites where you can find information you need. Is it that easy and useful? This search engine can find some of the most obscure information and include it in the index. Since it becomes popular, people usually say "starts google it online". "Google" exactly means to search from these people's habit, it shows how successful Google website is. This type of deep search technology has some advantages and disadvantages.

The inner web pages consist of Google's pages that take several clicks before the user is able to view them. These pages may be product pages, content or a database of searches that web search engine spiders cannot normally crawl. The advantage of this type of crawl technology is that website owners can have products, shops, information and other valuable links included in a web search engine's index. This leaves more visibility on the Internet for the website owner.

But this deep search engine, Google, has one disadvantage that personal information being indexed regardless of privacy. Information such as social security numbers, financial information or geographic locations can be indexed even if it's posted to a personal website. Google has given users the ability to block some information from the index using a file. It allows users to remove URLs after the website owner has removed the offending information, which deletes it from the index. Further, this information technology also affects on traditional institutions negatively such as libraries and books. For example, when college students need information for doing their research papers, they usually find it on the Internet using this information technology. Because it's more convenient that they only have to type the keywords on the searching bar, they don't have to find on books in hard copies which they need to go to libraries. Then, people will start ignoring books and libraries because they don't need to go at all. People are becoming lazy through this information technology, Google.
