What I'm Searching For
Some stories and article proposals in the works (August 05):
Identity Theft -- how online shoppers should protect themselves (for Consumer Reports)
Television in kids' bedrooms -- the cultural impact -- for good or ill -- of children retreating into this media cocoon
Leapfrog's Fly pentop computer
I"m on an eBay tear these days (November 9, 2004). (One recent story was in the New York Times last month, about "Buy it Now" items selling for one penny) As always, I'm also interested in research related to information overload, distractions and background television -- whether it pertains to children or adults. If you happen to have some tips related to these topics, please let me know at lisa-at-lisaguernsey.com
eBay Powersellers getting ready for the holidays
The impact of eBay on the charitable giving of goods to Goodwill, Salvation Army, etc.
Online shops and the power of the keyword
Online, for-profit universities -- which ones bit the dust in the dot-com bust?
A new batch of issues I'm exploring (August 3, 2004). If you happen to have some tips related to these topics, please let me know at lisa-at-lisaguernsey.com
Toddlers, television and new studies on attention deficit problems
Schools that haven't made Adequate Yearly Progress, according to the Leave No Child Behind Act
E-voting and Nevada's printer-plus-touch-screen machines
Localization techniques used by search engines
As of today (June 15, 2004), I've got a new conception of this page. Instead of providing a mindless list of keywords I've recently plugged into a search engine (my previous cockamamie idea), I'll list some of the areas that I'm exploring -- either for future articles or simply because I'm curious. If you happen to have some tips related to these topics, please let me know at lisa-at-lisaguernsey.com
Examples of how computers divide people's attention
Research on how cell phones make an impact on the social well-being of low-income people
Profiles of teachers who have found innovative and/or quirky ways to captivate today's students
Communities in which the repercussions of the Leave No Child Behind Act have given parents the chance to choose alternative schools
Data on how many subjects/topics/concepts/numbers a person can hold in their head at one time
College students in the Washington DC area who use thefacebook.com
++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Okay, I know, this is almost as embarassing as giving you a peek at my underwear drawer. Nevertheless, for the sake of tracking my search habits, here are some of the words I've plugged into query boxes recently:
