No where to find it. Where to find downloaded files from the Internet on your computer. Where are the downloads in Internet Explorer?

First of all, because education is a science that you master throughout your life. You constantly have to think about how best to teach, explain, make it more accessible and understandable to the student. The student understood and learned, saw something very important - this is your joy and your success. You teach him to think, search, compare, analyze. You teach him to use his creativity. Your task is to teach him to learn. His success is your success!
Education is also the joy of discovering new things. You never have to stop there. You are always trying to solve some kind of research problem, and this is very important: it is impossible to teach science without raising unknown problems, because the teaching process in this case will be nothing more than a simple presentation of accumulated information. You strive to discover the secret and comprehend the unknown, to involve students in the research process, to interest them in the problem - and thus you move forward. After all, life is in full swing where there is movement and new horizons open. Education and science must be one whole!
Education is mastering the ability to be open to the world. You are ready to perceive new things, see and understand the main thing in what you are studying, reveal laws and logic in it, and expand your worldview. You don’t close yourself off, don’t hide, but go towards the problems at hand. Education is your brainchild, your way of life. You look at everything from the inside, and not from the outside, you see that you cannot save on education, you cannot curtail, reduce, or close anything in it. The country needs thinking and educated people! Education is the core of our life. It should not depend on someone’s whim, and when resolving issues in this area, one must always think about the consequences that may occur - alas! - very sad. Without quality education, the country will have neither a high material nor a high spiritual level. Making education both an asset and a need for everyone is a science yet to be mastered.

Evgenia Abaeva, Associate Professor of the Department of English Studies and Intercultural Communication, Moscow State Pedagogical Institute:

And we run, run, run, run... We keep running and still don’t have time. But we have to be in time. And the employer wants the employee to speak five languages, be able to program in C++, and at the same time be able to sell snow to Eskimos... in winter. Oh yes, and he also knew how to make coffee.
It is difficult to imagine the amount of knowledge that has been accumulated by generations of people until now. And we must pass on all this baggage, almost overwhelming at times, to our children. And in ten years it won’t get any easier, and you’ll have to decide whether it’s necessary to take a winter hat with you to the south or whether you can limit yourself to a swimming cap. In other words, in modern world the ability to sift out grains of truly necessary information comes to the fore.
Yes, no one argues, the time has come for innovative technologies, and the teacher of our time easily uses an interactive whiteboard in his work and knows how to set up animation in Power Point. Methodology and pedagogy also do not stand still. Interactive learning, differentiated learning, individual approach and a credit system are not just words, but things that are actually implemented in life. But now we are not talking about this, but about what society expects from education, what do we, parents and teachers, want from children and students in our hectic lives? The most important thing is that we must teach them to learn. The German philosopher Georg Simmel put it wonderfully: “An educated man is one who knows where to find what he does not know.” What is important is the process of education itself, that state when a person, understanding his needs, takes a conscious step towards acquiring this knowledge. Just as a person of the future is an educated person, education itself is the science of the future. Not in the generally accepted sense of the word, but “science” as “knowledge”. A person must clearly understand what goals in education he sets for himself, what problems he is going to solve, and the teacher must think about this together with him. That is, first of all, the question “Why?” is asked, which has become the main question of future education. And only then the question “How?”, which is quite successfully solved already at the level of development modern technologies training.
Throughout our lives, we continue to accumulate knowledge, gain experience and skills, and hone our skills. After all, “a man who is too old to learn has, in all probability, always been too old to learn” (Henry Haskins). But you also need to study wisely. Don't run, but stop and think. And this must be done in time.

Ekaterina Abramova, senior lecturer, researcher at Moscow University for the Humanities:

It is known that informatization of the educational environment is intended to facilitate and improve the quality of educational process. Today we can note the relative availability information technologies for all educators. However, despite the fact that the computer is actively used in solving administrative issues, it is not always involved in the process of presenting lecture material. Undoubtedly, to simplify this task it is necessary to use all available this moment IT resources. First of all, this is the multimedia audience itself.
Unfortunately, the equipment of this audience, as a rule, does not meet the necessary requirements: outdated computers, lack of a touch board and projector. But this problem is only one of the difficulties that a teacher faces.
Informatization of the educational environment implies good computer skills and maximum use of operating system applications that will help optimize the learning process and motivate students to study a particular subject.
Focusing on the principle of clarity, the teacher involves students in the process of learning new material. However, the teacher’s incompetence in working with multimedia can lead to the opposite result. For example, a presentation overloaded with information or a long scientific film forms in students an indifferent attitude towards the discipline being studied.
Thus, the effectiveness of informatization of the learning process primarily depends on solving such problems as:
- providing the teacher with the necessary audience equipped with multimedia tools;
- teacher competence when working with IT.
When considering these problems, it cannot be denied that the computer and other multimedia resources will not replace the teacher himself. Nevertheless, information technologies can facilitate the task of the teacher to convey information to the student as much as possible. It is especially important that the student analyzes and understands the material.
As advice for the first audience issue, we can offer the following - necessary equipment carry with you. Instead of a computer, they often use a small and inexpensive netbook weighing no more than a kilogram. A powerful projector can be replaced with a pocket one that can fit in the palm of your hand, and a light wall or a large white sheet of Whatman paper can be used as a screen. Thus, the “portable multimedia classroom” fits into a regular teacher’s briefcase and weighs very little.
Considering the second problem related to the competence of teachers in the field of information technology, a solution is more difficult to find. Not only the teachers themselves should be interested in this, but also their administration, which in turn should provide teaching staff the necessary program training to improve professional competence. Finally, acquired or existing knowledge in the field of information technology must be adequately used in one’s teaching work: be able to make presentations, create video and audio material using simple codecs and utilities, and, of course, discover for oneself all the possibilities of the Internet.
If possible, each teacher should have his own website where he posts the necessary information about himself and contact information. This page also provides various links to help students find specific online sources. It is useful for teachers who have good computer skills and know how to work on the Internet to create their own website. It may be very simple, but it will contain everything that a particular teacher needs. Today it is possible to create a website from templates on free hosting. Social networks are also very popular. However, the teacher must always remember that he must be an authority for students. In this situation, he should be careful about the personal information he posts online.

Elena Aleksandrova, associate professor at Moscow State University of Psychology and Education:

When discussing education as the science of the future, I would like to first of all talk about the role of the teacher. The word itself captures the essence of the profession - to give knowledge. But not just give, but also guide, help, teach. The teacher deals with the future; in his hands is the fate of the new generation, the fate of the country, the fate of the planet. A true teacher stands on the path of self-improvement, constantly looking into the depths of his own soul and mind: the one who knows it himself can show the way.
Pedagogy is a science that shapes a person’s social behavior, helps to develop strong-willed qualities, behave in a team, and be able to follow the rules when necessary. For the normal progressive development of society, a comprehensively developed personality is needed. A person who is fully aware of his responsibility to his family, country, today and tomorrow. Forming such a personality is the job of a teacher. The task of education is to give a person the tools that could most effectively help them master new knowledge, openly face the present and future, and be a conscious member of society.
Modern culture has entered an era of “blooming complexity”; navigating the labyrinth of diversity and multidirectional information flows is becoming increasingly difficult. At the same time, a comprehensively educated person has the inner strength not to lose his understanding of life values. Education lays down basic concepts, strengthens the mind, and teaches one to learn. Knowledge is valuable by application, knowledge is valuable by the spirit of the one who applies it. A teacher can help a person make knowledge a part of his life, develop the ability to think, analyze, compare, and make informed decisions.
Thinkers, philosophers, and scientists have been talking and writing for centuries about education, teachers and students, knowledge and ignorance. Each era poses new challenges, forces us to look for ways to overcome difficulties, and educate. Using the fruits of education in all spheres of human existence, a morally developed person becomes a support for the future of his country.

Women are more absent-minded than men and are more likely to lose things, this is a prejudice. Each person spends about 2 months of his entire life searching for things allegedly lost at home - keys, mobile phone, jewelry, documents, TV remote control, etc.

Stop and calm down

Panicking and running around the house will only make your situation worse.

Sit down and concentrate, think through a clear plan of action to find the lost item, taking into account the tips below.

You just had an item in your hands, and a moment later you can’t find it? Most likely, the loss is somewhere nearby, where you put it, you’re just distracted and don’t see the item.
An object may fall through somewhere, roll away, or be camouflaged against a background of the same color.
Don't find the item in its usual place? Think: when and where did you last see an item or use it, what did you do next, where did you go, what did you do?
A person’s memory can accommodate about a dozen actions over the past half hour.

To remember where you put the item, go back in your memories and restore the chronology of events.
Sometimes, when you are carried away by your search, you may forget what you were looking for, so try to pronounce the name of the lost item in your thoughts.
Take advantage of the experience of American scientists who claim that losses are usually located in the “Eureka” zone - a radius of 42 cm.
From the usual place where things are stored, this is where you should look first.
If you have enough time to search, you can start a general cleaning of the house, then you will definitely find the thing you need, items that were lost earlier.

How to find documents

Documents are often lost, and each time it is a serious stress, because restoring lost documents sometimes costs significant material costs, and sometimes it is impossible. What to do and how to quickly find a lost item at home?

Do not panic. Calmly look for documents in the place where you usually store documents. Slowly flip through all the papers. Maybe you were nervous and just didn't notice them.
If relatives live in the house besides you, ask them if anyone has seen the necessary papers? It happens that someone simply shifted the documents.
Try to remember where you last used papers; maybe you visited authorities and presented your documents there? Or did you forget them at work? Check the resulting versions.
Have you made sure that there are no documents at home? Contact the lost property office and the police immediately. You can post notices about the loss. Write an ad in the newspaper.
Leave your details, your papers will be found soon.

Where to look if a small item or decoration is lost

Finding lost small items - a ring, earring, bolt, button, etc. is not so easy. There are several ways to find something you lost at home.

The most effective method is a thorough cleaning of the house using a vacuum cleaner.
Check in advance to see if the item you are looking for is in the trash bin. Then put a stocking on the vacuum cleaner and clean the premises. Lost change will fall into the trap.
It is good to look for small iron objects using a magnet.
Jewelry is more likely to be found under pillows in bed, caught in clothes you wore the night before, or in pockets and purses.
Remember where you last removed jewelry and search using the Eureka zone method.

What to do if the item is not found and nothing helps

If the loss was not found in the house, think about whether you took it outside the house? Then she stayed there.

You have already understood that the main factor in successfully searching for lost things is calmness, prudence, and the ability to recall in your memory the chronology of actions with the sought-after item.

Take a break from searching, relax, drink tea or coffee, and don’t think about the loss. Information about the location of an item is stored in your subconscious.

Let thoughts about searching for the missing item sink into the subconscious, then, without straining, you will be able to remember where you left or could see the item you needed.

And the loss itself will suddenly appear in the most visible place.

The idea of vocation has taken on a new lease of life these days. They talk about it everywhere: books, articles, all kinds of trainings are devoted to how to find the main thing in your life. The rationale is clear: it is important for us to realize that the work to which we devote our time, and indeed the trajectory of our lives in general, is not accidental for us.

It is an important pillar of our identity. But the idea of vocation itself, in my opinion, is unsuccessful, and here’s why.

Predestination. No matter how we understand calling (as something given to us by Providence or as a talent from nature awaiting implementation), this idea contains a hint of the destiny and predestination of our path.

Idealization. The idea of vocation idealizes the process of professional choice and the professional activity. It is no coincidence that Vocation is most often written with a capital letter.

Authorship. The idea of vocation deprives us of full authorship in choosing a job and removes responsibility for our life’s work. It assumes that we do not create our own life’s work, but inherit it or find it.

Exceptionality. The idea of a vocation creates a false idea that there is only one occupation suitable for us, the assumption that there cannot be several “vocations”. As a psychologist and coach, I see that the need to find a Calling causes many of us to experience enormous pressure, anxiety and doubt (“What if this isn’t it?”). As if there is only one correct line of life, if we leave it we will fail.

Path trajectories or life's work?

In my opinion, vocation and concepts close to it (“life’s work”, “destination”) are a myth. There is no exclusive thing prepared especially for us that we are “obliged” to implement, otherwise we will be doomed to remain dissatisfied and unhappy.

There is a range of possibilities within our diverse (but always limited) interests where we can realize ourselves. Which does not negate the existence of an area of our incompetence, non-talent, that which is “not ours,” those activities where we will have neither flow, nor involvement, nor results, nor pleasure from work.

Philosophy of favorite things

A productive, balanced and optimistic alternative to the idea of Vocation in our time, in my opinion, could be the philosophy of favorite things. It requires us to understand what we are passionate about and what we would be happy (and willing) to invest in.

Whether for life or for a while - this is ours personal decision. The feeling of “right for me” is associated with my personal evolution, circumstances, changing values, new resources.

The philosophy of favorite things is based on the ability to find and realize your true interest. It is not about magical intuition and insight, but about doing, about research through action. Favorite things can change, and in general they are fundamentally multiple. And this is their advantage over Calling with a capital V.

Surely it has happened to everyone that the keys they were just holding in their hands disappeared somewhere, and within a small room a book was suddenly lost, or their favorite shoes mysteriously disappeared from the closet, waiting for their season. How to find a lost item in such circumstances? Is it possible to make your own search easier, and what is the reason for such misunderstandings?

How to find a missing item?

A rational approach in serious matters is the most winning tactic. Therefore, when searching for a missing item, the main rule is to let go of panic and think about the situation soberly. You need to analyze as clearly as possible the last moments when you saw or held the item you were looking for. What circumstances accompanied this moment? What did you do? What was happening around?

If something has disappeared within the house, you can breathe a sigh of relief: sooner or later you will be able to find it, although sometimes the sooner the better. Your search can be guided by several principles. Inspect the expected zones of the location of the object, according to its belonging to them, or, on the contrary, rely on intuition. For example, relax and think where you could put this thing purely mechanically, without controlling yourself. Most often, it is precisely such spontaneous actions that lead to the fact that the object is subsequently lost, and the memory does not want to explain where exactly this happened and how.

The whole problem is that a person is used to performing several actions at the same time. While the brain is processing the main task, for example, talking on the phone, the hands are moving something from place to place mindlessly. Side effects are not monitored by consciousness, and as a result are rarely imprinted in memory. And in order to fish them out from the depths of the subconscious, you have to again perform a distracting maneuver.

If your item goes missing outside the home, the likelihood of finding it is significantly reduced. This is especially true for valuable items: wallets, keys, etc. Even if a stranger accidentally sees them, there is no guarantee that he will honestly admit them and give them back. However, it's worth a try. The most effective posts in this regard are in in social networks, which all friends and acquaintances can transfer to their page (repost), as a result of which more people will see them.

The text must indicate at least the approximate location and time of the loss. If locality small, you can even advertise on the radio. It is also recommended to post a notice in the expected place of loss. In addition, “lost and found” boards are gaining popularity on social media: communities where lost and found items are posted. Perhaps your city also has something similar.

How to find a lost item at home?

The easiest way to help find lost items is, of course, general cleaning. However, it is worth noting that it must be carried out exactly in the part of the apartment where the item is expected to be found, since otherwise the search will drag on for several days. Moreover, for small elements it may require a thorough review of every corner, all the papers folded into a common pile, etc. painstaking and long lasting. However, this does not always work. What to do in such a situation?

Psychologists advise turning your attention away from the task at hand if thoughts about it have been swirling around in the subconscious for too long. This reduces the chances of successfully completing the task, because breaks are needed everywhere. And if we take into account the energy field of each object, then after prolonged exposure to it with the power of thought, it begins to reflect all the messages, as a result of which it becomes simply impossible to detect the loss.

Therefore, during searches, it is necessary to take a break, be distracted for half an hour or an hour. In this state, when you are not preoccupied with the location of a specific object, it is easiest to suddenly catch the right thought, which will tell you in which direction to search.

6 ways to find something you forgot where you put it

It happens that no amount of analytical reasoning helps in searching for a particular item. In such situations, it is not difficult to agree with the version of Domovoy’s pranks. Whether it’s his doing or not, a few old search methods won’t be superfluous. What if what you are looking for will actually be found?

If the Brownie is really rowdy, you need to appease him: put a glass of milk with honey on the threshold, put any bun or cheesecake, a piece of cake or other sweets. According to ancient beliefs, this spirit is very fond of flour and confectionery products, especially if they are homemade. In extreme cases, even refined sugar or butter will do. After which you need to clap your hands, look around, and invite the Brownie to play with the thing, but then be sure to return it to the owners.
Perhaps a harmless house spirit has nothing to do with the disappearance. Then you can try the following methods: tie a personal towel or handkerchief to the leg of the chair that you use most often, making exactly 1 knot for this. Then you need to be distracted by any other task: even start cleaning, even just turn on a movie. It is important to relax your attention and, after a short break, begin your search again. They should turn out to be more successful. The same effect can be achieved if you place the glass or cup that you use most actively upside down on the table.
It is impossible to exclude the possibility that the item was lost in a certain “spatial pocket” of your home. Then finding it may require a little more effort than in previous cases. For example, you buy a purple candle without any decoration in a store, place it on the table in front of you in the evening and light it. Looking at its flame, you need to visualize the image of the lost thing: either it will “call” itself, or the candle will tell you the direction in which to look. It’s worth focusing on which side the melted wax flows down.
A method similar to the previous one also involves interaction with fire: broken dry branches of wormwood, lavender and motherwort are poured into a copper bowl. The herbs are then moistened with alcohol and set on fire. Walking around the apartment with a bowl in your hand, fuming all the corners and walls with smoke, you need to imagine the loss as clearly as possible, mentally calling on it. If the thing does not respond, you should go in the direction where the smoke will flow. You can also pick up a ball of yarn and walk around the house with it, constantly twisting the thread in your fingers and feeling how it extends towards the lost item.
Searching with a pendulum is considered quite effective. To do this, you can use a ready-made device or build it yourself by hanging any small load on a soft thread. As in the previous versions, holding the pendulum by the upper end, you need to walk around the apartment with it, mentally calling out the loss. Where the load begins to actively rotate, there is a high probability of finding what you are looking for.
The last method will require you to wait some time, during which the thing itself should respond to energy impulses on your part. You need to take a thread the length of which is equal to your height, then fold it 10 times and tie 3 knots on it. at an equal distance from each other. This should be done in the evening, since the thread is removed under the pillow on which you sleep. And in the morning you should resume your search, relying on the information received at night.

And if none of the methods discussed above could help you find your lost item, let it go. Probably, something from above decided that you really don’t need this item. After all, everything in life happens only according to the correct scenario, even if at a particular moment it seems that this event is negative.

Many of us prefer not only to watch movies, read text, listen to music on the Internet. I would also like to download this to my computer or laptop. But where to find downloaded files can be somewhat difficult in some cases.

Although many are gradually abandoning this idea, realizing that any information can be found on the Internet again and again. But, firstly, the Internet is not yet available everywhere. Secondly, Internet access is not always cheap or free. Thirdly, you just want to have your favorite files on your PC or laptop. I want it, and that’s it.

Therefore, the task of downloading is relevant. It seems like it was downloaded, but where did it all go, where can I find the downloaded files? The problem has arisen.

Let's look at 3 (three) ways to find downloaded files from the Internet on your computer:

using Explorer, which is available on computers with the Windows operating system,
via "Search"
using the "Downloads" folder that is found in every browser.

Let's start searching for files using Explorer. This method is suitable for those who have installed operating system Windows.

1 Explorer for searching files downloaded from the Internet

Open Explorer. In Windows 7, Explorer is located next to the button:

Rice. 1. Downloaded files from the Internet are located in the “Downloads” folder in Explorer

There is a “Downloads” folder in Explorer (1 in Fig. 1). If you click on it, then in this you can see downloaded files from the Internet.

2 “Search” line to search for the downloaded file

On a computer, the “Search” line can be found, for example, in Windows 7 in the “Start” menu.

Rice. 2. “Search” line to find the downloaded file

1 in Fig. 2 – click “Start”.
2 in Fig. 2 – in the “Search” line you need to enter the name of the file downloaded from the Internet.
3 in Fig. 2 – file search results.

If the file name in “Search” is entered more or less reliably, then it is very likely that the file will be found as a result of the search.

There is no doubt: searching for a file by its name is a convenient service on your computer. But who remembers the name of a file once downloaded on the Internet?

I will take the liberty of saying that most users do not remember it. In addition, files downloaded from the Internet may have strange names that are impossible not only to remember, but even to understand, some kind of gobbledygook. Therefore, we move on to the next method of searching for a file on your computer downloaded from the Internet.

3 “Downloads” folder in different browsers and how to change it

A browser is usually used to access the Internet. Using a browser, users access social networks and visit various sites. Therefore, files from the Internet (pictures, songs, videos, etc.) are most often downloaded through a browser. The browser has a “Downloads” folder in which you can find downloaded files from the Internet.

Below we will look at how to find the “Downloads” folder in browsers Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Yandex Browser, Internet Explorer, and also how to change standard folder uploading downloaded files to a convenient folder.

From this menu, you should click the “Save As” option (for example, maybe “Save Picture As”).
The “Save As” window will open, in which you need to find a folder to save the file from the downloads in another location. Instead of a folder, you can select Desktop. Although you need to understand that cluttering the desktop on your computer with files downloaded from the Internet is not a good idea.
Once you have decided on the save location, you can change or leave the file name the same.
Now that the file storage location (folder) and file name are determined, click the “Save” button in the “Save As” window.
You can make sure that the file is saved in a place where it can be easily found later. To do this, find the file in a new location. You can check that it opens and everything is OK with it.
