Google like a pro: Tip #8

Use Google as a timer or stopwatch

You can use Google as a timer by typing in set timer for [time]. It will bring up a timer, and start
counting down immediately.

You can also use Google as a stopwatch by searching for the word stopwatch.

Talk Under Water by Kathryn Lomer

Will Lane never expected to make friends with some random girl on the internet.
Summer Rainbird never expected some random guy from the internet to turn up on her door step.
Both Will and Summer are missing a parent and needing a friend. But when they meet in real life, will they even be able to talk to each other, let alone be friends?

Isn't anyone why they say they are anymore?

Deciding who to trust

As everyone knows, not everything on the internet is trustworthy. Some of it is obviously wrong.
Some of it is obviously biased or out of date. These sites can easily avoided when you are doing assignments.

But what about the things that are not obvious?
