The search box is probably the first thing that we use when we go to websites such as Yahoo or Google. It is an addiction to be online in the world we live today and also it is inevitable and so natural to use search all the time. What if we couldn't use search?...
That is what I (supposedly the whole class) did. Trying to use websites, find things that we are looking for and continue browsing, BUT- do not use search box; actively avoid using it until it is impossible to do that but to use the search box eventually.
It was not that bad actually personally because without a topic or purpose that was so specific and/or urgent, it was not too hard to just browse around and click text or picture with hyperlink or watch videos. But when I picked a specific word to look up, it got a bit tricky to dodge around the search to be honest.
While looking around with several different purposes/goals in mind, I found a website called "thinkgeek." It sells/shows different items that are literally "geeky." Not just the content but the design/setting of the website is also eye-catching and helpful at navigating through. The search box is right on the top under the website name, where it is so obvious to find. The text is very clear, the site is consistent, and has good line spacing. Go visit and check it out if it sounds interesting enough.
