I really enjoyed Christopher Nolan's presentation on search engines, I never knew what the word "cached" meant on a search result, and clicking a link for a cached website can be really handy if the original site is down or has been recently edited. Cached means that website has been saved on the search engine server. So if you can’t go to the original website because the server is down or too many people are on it, etc. you can see the website as it was when it was last saved!
I was really surprised to learn that Google can also work as a dictionary. When you type in define colon and then a word or phrase, it gives you a quick definition as well as the link to the site! Christopher Nolan's presentation has really changed the way I search now!
