Wolfram+Alpha

[] Wolfram Alpha is a online research program created by Mathmatica. Wolfram Alpha is very user friendly and easy to use, despite the technology level of the user. This website allows the user to enter anything they want into a "search bar." Once the user enters in a word, the program will search and find informaion and statistics based off that word. In experimenting with this technology I searched several words and came up with several interesting statistics. Another possible use for this program is to solve math problems. As an extension of Mathmatica, Woflram Alpha is very capable of solving math problems of a variety of ranges. If you would like enhanced features, you can pay for the pro version of Wolfram Alpha.

As a whole this program was easy to use, although very limited in its use. This is a great place for gathering basic background knowledge.

Pros:
 * Easy to use
 * Easy access to statistics

Cons:
 * Can only access information, can't manipulate
