On October 8th, 2018, we, students of grade 8 and 9 got the opportunity to learn about ‘Google’ on a Parent Talk Show Programme from Mr. Sagun Dhungana. We learned that Google is a search engine and we can get all sorts of information on Google. Google utilizes the information shared by sites and applications to deliver data to us. Google is one of the biggest search engine on the World Wide Web(WWW) handling more than three billion searches each day. Google's main objective is to organize the worldwide information and make it universally available and accessible to each and every corner of the world. Without search engines like Google, it is practically hard and failing to find any information on the internet. We also got a chance to know about ‘Web Crawling’. It is processed by which Google bot searches for new and apprised sites to add it to the Google Index. We use a huge set of servers to fetch( or crawl) billions of pages on the web. The program that performs this fetching is called Spider. Google knows a lot of things about you than you think it does. Once we become part of the global citizens, the world recognizes us and we are connected to the whole world. The global citizen is basically someone who identifies with being part of an emerging world community and whose actions contribute to building this community’s values and practices. Today, the forces of global engagement are helping some people to identify themselves as global citizens who have a sense of belonging to the world community. Google just connects our answer by crawling and this is the way by which we can know what is happening out there in the world. We cannot always say the Google is right in many ways and it can present itself to be wrong. Mainly it cannot be trusted with keeping our information private. So coming up to this point, we really got to know so much about a search engine. The results that are displayed are generally presented in a line of results often referred to as search engine result pages. The information provided by search engines might collective include images, videoes, web pages and other different formats of data. So these were the things that we learned from the Parent Talk Show Programme explained by Mr.Sagun Dhungana.
