12. Such a beast has never before existed in the history of culture,
but is almost guaranteed to grow exponentially from this day

23. Encourage students to create websites on a given topic.
Brainstorm some keyword ideas.

Ask them so check if their sites were indexed and if yes,
on which place are they in search engines.
