Google according to MAC• Game: always trying to be #1 result for search
• Obsolete: URL’s are often “Not Found”
• Overstimulation: too many results to get quick reliable results
• Gamut: wide range of information and degree of difficulty presented
• Laborious: time required to search through all results
• Evaluation: younger users do not have skills or background needed to decide whether information is accurate
or not
