Computer and Web Articles

Your friend is sitting across the table from you, chatting away about the amazing new dish she made using kohlrabi last week. You smile and nod your head knowingly while you think, “Now wait a second, I know I’ve heard of kohlrabi before, but what in the world does it look like??”

Upon returning home you sit down at your computer, fire up Google, type “kohlrabi” into the search box, and hit the “Google Search” button. You click the first result and are taken to a webpage that has a description and one photo of the root vegetable.

You hit your back button. You click search result #2 and see another photo of the vegetable, then click the back button again to return to your search results once more. You’re starting to remember what the veggie looks like, but can’t remember if it comes in different colors or what it looks like when baked or fried. So you keep laboriously clicking through the results on the page, hoping one of the sites listed will have a variety of photos for you to look at.

Okay, stop. There’s a much better way to look for a variety of kohlrabi photos.

Let’s start over. Go back to www.Google.com. Now, in the upper left-hand corner, click the “Images” link. Done? Good work. Now back to business as usual – go ahead and type “kohlrabi” into the search box, then hit the “Search Images” button that’s appeared.

Boom. There you have it. Thousands upon thousands of photos of kohlrabi, lined up nice and neat for your viewing pleasure.

And so: whenever you want to look at images and photos of something in particular, using Google Images instead of Google’s standard search is the way to go. Have fun!
