The way I researched these key terms was: First I used Google to search the key terms due to the fact that this search engine provides more options to pick from. However, I noticed that most of the results were taking me to Wikepedia.com. Therefore, I continued using Wikipedia site because I realized that it was providing me all the information needed to learn about these terms.
