Challenges

Bryan told Jeff that he was having trouble finding information on the World Wide Web. He could find a lot of web pages, but most of them were not what he wanted, and a lot of them were "trash".

So there are two challenges here:

  1. searching for web sites on a certain subject
  2. finding GOOD information that you can depend on
