Discussion Question

DQ: What have you done this week that directly or indirectly involved a database? How would your week have been different in a world without databases?

I do several things every week that involve using a database, whether directly or indirectly. As for this week, there were two databases that I used to help me do my homework and other things. One of them was definetly Google: I use the Google database at least once or twice a day, if not more. The second was is Wikepedia, which I do not use all the time, but very often.

If, for the past week, I used or had absolutely no databases, the situation would be MUCH different. Doing my homework would take a lot longer than usual, seeing as I'd have to go through several dictionaries, information sources, and books to get the information I needed. Let's just say, I would have a really hard time doing things in less than a minute.
