Exploring Topics

The topic I chose was the Internet.  I used the Gale Virtual Reference Library and found some interesting keywords from searching for the broad topic.  The keywords were:

• Social Networks
• Information Technology
• Internet Advertising
• Internet Services
• Web Sites
• Community
• Privacy
• World Wide Web
• Computers
• Social Media
• User groups
• Identity Theft
• e-mail
• Internet Security
• Freedom of Speech

One of the articles I found interesting through my research of the word Internet is an article that gave a brief history about the Internet as well as how it's become a phenomenon and how the Internet can be used in several ways.  The article is titled "Internet" by Diana Odom Gunn and Christohpher W. Gunn.  From the book Encyclopedia of Sociology Vol. 2. 2nd ed.  New York: Macmillan Reference USA, 2001.  Pages 1438-1447.
