The power of Google

I just spent five hours doing research for my three papers, and I think I've got just about everything I need to start writing. That's going to happen a different day, though. I am working on three papers. For my science project, I am writing a paper on the country of Haiti, specifically the detrimental effects of deforestation on their food and water supplies. Yeah, it's as fun as it sounds.

For my religions class, I'm writing a paper on Buddhism, with a heavy focus on how Western society has both changed and not changed it. I was supposed to do an interview with someone of Buddhist faith in-person, but I copped out and sent my interview questions to a minister here in Hawaii. She is working on her responses and I expect to have them by the end of the week.

I am writing a paper on Intel for my business management class. This is the one that I had the most difficulty in finding resources. I need to focus on the business management aspect of the company. Try typing "Intel" in Google and see what you get - not what I needed. So it took me an hour or so to find the right thing to search for, but once I found the right phrase (which ended up being "intel employee management") I found more resources than I can possibly use.

Once again, Google came through for me. Sometimes it takes a bit of trial and error, but I firmly believe that there is nothing that I can't find through Google.
