Zusammenfassung:ConclusionBecause of the recent trend toward commercialization of the Internet, and the immense proliferation of information online, searching has become one of the most time-consuming tasks of our workdays. Technology is meant to help us save time and make more time for the things in our lives that are important to us. We can control our work with technology or allow it to control us. Because creators of some Web sites are trying harder and harder to get you to buy things online and to build up ecommerce, they are set up with the intent of distracting you into areas that are not likely to help you find the information you really need. Avoid the “impulse buying” and time-usurping aspects of the Web by controlling your own interactions with it. Plan, set goals, remind yourself of your task, and enjoy happy andefficient searching.
