Oh my Google, ain't no other engine like this!
IT MEANS YOU DON'T HAVE TO ASK EVERYONE OBNOXIOUS QUESTIONS
YOU JUST PLUG IT IN AND BAM YOU KNOW!
Oh my Google <3
Siriusly, people, Google is still applicable in modern society. Just because it's easier than ever to bug your friends with ridiculously silly questions ("heyyyyy do you know what song this is???? i heard it on x106.7 at 10:32 pm and I know all of the lyrics, but what song is it?????") GOOGLE THAT SHIT, BRO. If you ask me, chances are, I'm Googling the answer too. "How do I...?" "Well, here's a link to tell you all about it!" *attaches Google.com* "That doesn't tell me anything!" "IT DOES IF YOU ASK IT TO!"
Which reminds me of the days of AskJeeves. Oh Jeeves, you smart butler, you. If I had a question, I'd come to you. But if I just wanted to know about a certain topic, I'd go to Google. Even still, although Google functions better with questions than it once did, I will phrase what I'm wanting to know more about in a way that makes it not a question. Simply because way back when the dinosaurs roamed the Earth and asked their brontosaurus friends to tell them why Justin Bieber cut his hair instead of Googling it, question-asking on Google was unheard of.
Let's take a trip down memory road, shall we? Remembering the search engines that tried to compete with Google. One that pops to mind? Alltheweb.com. Whatever happened to that jewel? IT GOT CRUSHED BY GOOGLE'S AMAZING POWERS, THAT'S WHAT. Then there was one with a dog holding a flashlight. Not sure what it was called, but I sure did love seeing that dog. Such a Qt. I don't even remember others! Askjeeves.com. Bing.com. OH WAIT. Bing still exists. But why? Bing can't even begin to compete with Google. Not only is Bing more complicated than Google, it's also more precise than Google. Isn't that a good thing, you say? NO. Because Google allows for your brain to at least exercise a little bit of power in searching for the articles among the millions it will have returned to you. You hear that? Brain power. Churning away. Bing takes out all of the work. Maybe in some futuristic society where everyone is a gelatin glob and moves around on hovering chairs, never knowing about plants or trees or rusty robots, Bing will be a better search engine. But while the mind is still curious enough to have that urge to explore and learn more than just what they are researching, Google will dominate.
Google also brings forth multiple genres of accomplishments. It has email (gmail!), it can map stuff out for you (no more need for mapquest!), it can search images all over the web (did someone say bikini pics of Natalie Portman???), AND it even has its own web browser. For all of those PC users too cheap to cough up the money for a Mac (i.e. myself), Chrome is the closest we can get to feeling like we're using a Mac. Yes, we could download Safari, but that really doesn't make sense beyond the Mac realm. For now, I will use, and cherish, Chrome. It is my heart, it is my soul, it is my everything. Much like my future husband who has recently been named "Mr. Lee" due to a play on words revolving around my future name.
I'm L.R., I approve this message, and I hope you find it by Googling it.
