People Who Treat Google Like a Magic 8 Ball



Funny experiment.

Start typing 'Will I Ever' into google....

Some of the autofills are absolutely ridiculous:

--Will I ever find love
--Will I ever get married
--Will I ever be good enough

Other amusing searches:

--What is the meaning of life
--What is the meaning of love
--Do I love him
--Do I look good
--Am I going crazy

Dear searchers - I do know that it can feel like the source of all information at times....however, I think this may have gone a step too far.  Is it that someone thought, per se, that some knowing being out there published accurate information on whether or not said someone would find love, and it was really just a matter of finding this information on the internet?  Actually, it appears, quite a few someones may have had this thought.

Or, perhaps, more logically, someone was dealing the frustrations of wondering about one of said topics and was looking for some articles on the subject of how to cope, or to perhaps to see if there are others out there who feel the same way.

I'm sticking with my first theory.  Does google have any good information on what the future holds for Jaime?!  Has anyone ever been guilty of one of said googles?  Has anyone found anything good?  Any other good ones my dear readers can think of?!   Your thoughts!?

Another Random Question



Does anyone use this new search engine? How does it stack up against google? Better? Worse? Different HOW?

Second - what did we do before we had google? When there was a question of how to cook/bake something? Where to buy something? A questionable song lyric?

All I know is that google's rise to power/popularity came just slightly after I could have really used it - when i was in high school/college and I needed to look up the answer to something. Granted, I did use it/"the internet" quite a bit for help on these matters, but not to the full extent that I can/do now.

Anyone else with me on this one?
