Progression

So where I left off yesterday...

The suggestions that one of my classmates made during my critique was to try searching with different ordering of my keyword(s) since Google Images uses this algorithm to give the results. Though my knowledge on algorithm is like really bad haha, but I do understand what he means.

From his suggestion, I decided to go through some searches but ordering my keyword(s) differently. They are:

*Keywords are not linked to a site this time*

- work and net
- net and work
- work(net)

I was thinking about replacing "and" with "or" but according to my knowledge and common sense, it'll just exclude one term if it does find the first (and vice versa). Similarly, it's like searching for library books, where the or is to exclude while the and is to include. That is why "and" was used instead of "or".

From what I found through the above keywords, the results were quite different. They were more related to pictures of "work" or "work-in-net". What I mean is that it shows me images of work place(s), or conference(s) of work, and little to none diagrams were shown. Unfortunately, one bad mistake was that when I searched for "net and work" it had one image being sexual related, therefore clearly this way of searching was not the best.

More updates to come later today!

UPDATED at 9:15 PM - Nevermind...going to be continued tomorrow
