There are many search engines on the World Wide Web. The most famous is the ever popular Google. However, according to Badke, he states that search engines are usually updated quickly depending on the type of keyword it is. Wikipedia is always on the top of the search list because it is updated every single day. That is why whenever you search for most things, Wikipedia pops up as the first or second search. However, searches that haven’t been updated for a long period of time can at times be in the top of searches. This can lead to false information so we have to be careful. The reason being is that every topic is updated as time goes on. Using search engines has helped finding information much easier, however, we have to be careful what the searches give us.
