Researching Process

The person that I researched was Ice Cube. In order to research some information on him I went on the internet. I choose to look up information on the internet,about Ice Cube, because the internet was the easy to access and it was quick and easy to get such an abundant amount of information off the internet in a short period of time. When I opened up the internet, by clicking on the E-net icon on the desktop, I typed in google.com int the search slot located at the top of the internet screen. I choose to look up information on google because google was a common search engine that I usually used to look up information for projects and was very suceesful with looking up information on. When I arrived at the google search engine I clicked of web for the where I wanted to look up information. in the box titled search I typed in Ice Cubes name. When I did this google came up with over 388,000 websites with ice cube mentioned on them or actual information on Ice Cube. I choose to look at the first five websites that popped up with Ice Cube's name on them. After looking at these websites and getting a few bits and pieces of information off them I typed in another search term. I did this in order to get more information on Ice Cube's life when he first became known publicly (and before he became know publicly), because the first term I had typed in had given me more information about what he was doing now, and I wanted more background information. The term that I typed in to get background information on Ice Cube was Ice cube- biography. When I typed this term google came up with over 197,000 websites that had Ice Cube's biography in them. When I looked on about three of these websites I found a lot of the background information that could help improve some parts of my paper. This was the research process that I used.

How do we choose a reliable source from a list of so many on google?
