database activity: the yellow pages :)
now, you may been asking now, what exactly is a database ?
and now, i shall tell you :)
(just to tell you now, I've started using LOTS of smiley faces, because they're really nice and happy)
A database is a collection of information that is organized so that it can easily be accessed, managed, and updated. Very useful :)
now, you may be wondering, what are some examples of databases..well, you know when you go to a library, and they scan the book you want to borrow, i think it's called a catalogue, that's a database.
now here are some questions :) (see i told you i really like smiley faces)
Question One; I know there is a computer shop in the main street of Katoomba (Katoomba St.), but I don’t know its name. See if you can find the number for me.
well, i don't think i'm meant to give you the address, so i'll tell you how to find it on yellowpages.com. First, you would type 'computer shops' in the business type section, then tell yellowpages (not verbally) that it is located in katoomba street, then it'll direct you to all the computer shops in katoomba. easy, simple and efficient :)
Question Two; Is the yellow pages a database? of course it is silly :) because as stated above, it is a collection of data thaat is organised, and can be used easily and efficiently.
Question Three; Advantages of the electronic internet yellow pages? it's more economic as you don't have to print millions of copies to hand out to every house hold which means it's better for the environment because we're not cutting down as many trees, they can actually show you where the store is, because there is a map, which you can print out, and of course, the address/phone number :)
Question Four; Disadvantages/dangers. wow, that just makes it seem evil now doesn't it. Some of these are, not everyone has internet, hence no yellowpages.com. also that we realised that it is quite easy to stalk someone because all you need to know is their last name, and type it into the search, and bam; you have their address :/
doneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee :)
