how to use google searching effectively

Google is an internet search engine. In order to get the best results, the words used are important. A lot of time people type in a word and the results that come out are not what they were looking for. A reason for this could be because people do not know how to effectively search Google.
Three tips to improving our search results are, (a) not to type in questions because the result s will not directly answer the question. (b) Do not use vague words. If the terms used in the search engine are ambiguous the results will also be ambiguous. Therefore, we must be specific. And lastly, (c) when looking for a specific word of quote, it is a good idea to use quotation marks especially if what was wanted were those exact words.

In order to see if a server is available across the globe, a number of servers are located in different parts of the world. Clearly, if there are more servers in more locations, the picture on the website available will be better.
Internet blocking, on the other hand, is about not allowing a particular website to be viewed. This is usually done in schools in order to prevent students from browsing the net during class.

Wireless Networking

It could be as serious as someone being able to access the computer’s hard drive. Even when it is not that serious, the problem of neighbors using your internet connection can be a result of non safe wireless networking.
In order to have a safe network, one should use encryption; one should not have the “Announce Yourself” enabled and should change the access point’s default because a hacker can lock you out of your own network. One should also have limited access to their access point, for example put a limit on the number of computers that can use the wireless internet.
