Internet Research Project

My research topic was Blinkx.com

In general this site was okay. For my topic did not work at this site. Blinkx.com is a site that is another youtube, but it has more to deal with everyday information. You can put any keywords in the search bar and it will bring up any videos that had those words. It doesn't have many old videos about topics.

Research Journal Assignment #11A

Do people really know how the Roman Empire started and fell? When I asked 40 people at my work, only 25 new some parts on how the empire started, only 15 knew some reasons why it fell. The year is 1996 and you are walking and you notice a strange man who is blind and you walk up to him, you ask him if he could tell you how the Roman Empire started and fell; he tells you he can and you sit down next to him and he starts telling you the story. Hopefully after listening to him you can make your own decision or ideas about why and how the empire fell. The major factors for the fall of the Roman Empire are: the Separation of the Empire, Military Causes and Economic reasons.

Research Journal Assignment #9

For my topic I have found many resources pretty much telling me the same thing. All the sources I have found all have great information. So it would be hard to just talk about just one of them when all of them say pretty much the same thing.
