Wolfram Alpha

Students were asked to Play around with all the knowledge engines we discussed and write about their experiences, as well as commenting on related knowledge issues, such as the implications of knowledge when using these technologies.

I played around with Wolfram Alpha.

I asked things about topics ranging from scientific research like Cell membrane function to childhood tv shows like the winx club. All together, it didn’t give me everything I wanted to know, but it gave me basic info that would have taken me a lot of time and research to find on Google. I do like the idea of these sorts of databases.  Just think what it would be like if the whole world worked on one database and put all their knowledge into it AND made it completely free to access. THAT WOULD BE AMAZING!
