I did not know that "howitsmade" had so many things to do on it! I think you did a really good job of trying to explain all of the different areas and saying how easily one could get lost from clicking. I might have to check it out!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know about HowIt'sMade before reading your post, it seems like a great place to research. But you have tobe careful not to get lost in its vastness, you have to know what your looking for before logging on. I definitely will keep it in mind in the future though.
ReplyDeleteI've heard about this website before, but didn't know how much was on it like you talked about in this post. I think this post was relatable as it talked about getting lost in the internet, which is something I'm sure we're all guilty of. This post was super informative and full of information about this website.
ReplyDeleteI really liked your writing! It was very sticky, even from the first sentence, I immediately related to the question and wanted the answer to it. It seems like this website is massive and I think you did a good job of condensing it and just giving a few examples and the highlights of the website. Good job!
ReplyDeleteI have only heard of "howstuffworks" a couple times and never chose to explore it. Your essay has changed my mind because I didn't know that there was such a variety of topics on the website. It also seems like the type of website that I can stumble on something very random at any time which I think is cool.
ReplyDeleteI had heard about this site before, but I have never taken quizzes or known about the quizzes on this site. I actually associated this site with a good source of information before and now it seems that there is a fun side to it too.
