Title: Project 3.2
Course: CGS1061: Introduction to Computers > Section: Societal Impacts

Directions: Using the Internet, school library, your textbook and other resources, complete BOTH parts listed below and develop your responses in ONE document. Clearly title each part. For any information that you found in your research, type the name of the resource (web page, book title, etc.) in parenthesis at the end of the information, then create ONE References page for both parts at the end of the document. For examples, see the Syllabus.

Part A: Use several different search engines (Google, Bing, Yahoo, or another) to search for a topic of your choice. Be as specific as possible in your search terms, for example use "Vegan Restaurants Seattle" as opposed to just "Restaurants."

1. Create a table with a column for each search engine.
2. List the top five "hits" for each search engine in the rows below.
3. Explore each site and make a determination about which search engine produced the best results.

Part B: Research THREE of the following adaptive technologies:

- Screen readers
- Scanning and reading software
- Internet browser readers
- Braille translators
- Voice-recognition software
- Text-to-voice software

Write a short summary of each adaptive technology you researched, including answers to the following:

1. Who would use this technology?
2. Is any special equipment required? If so, what?
3. Is any special training required?
4. What is the cost of the technology?
