Life Without Google :O I can’t believe that you are actually
thinking about it. How can it be true? Google is the lifeline of so many
people, and yes it includes us.
To all your moods, to you all your
researches, the first reference is Google, ok for a minute let’s not consider
it as a source of endless information, a medium to check your mails, translate
foreign languages, look for directions, watch videos on YouTube and what not,
you name it and they have it.
And since I said you name it, don’t
expect them to do the dishes for you or clean your room :P
So now all these user-friendly
convenient functionalities out of consideration it comes to my mind, that of
what use is it to us anymore. And here is the best part (also the best usage),
I am sure this is the globally made most use of Google.
You are is a desperate need to look
for something, may be to check some important mails or book ticket or anything,
but you are unable to open that website. So a thought comes to your mind,
already giving you nightmares, “Is my
internet working? OMG I am doomed if it’s not.”
And what do you do when something
like this happens, you open Google and check if your internet connection is
working fine. Yes, you can laugh on yourself :P because this is what we do :)
Rather than checking for our connectivity in network places, or checking our
modem we decide to rely on this little site. Even when you go to a café and you
are unable to login to any site, the café fellow will come and open Google and
look at you as if you’re an illiterate and don’t know anything.
Now since the topic is so different
and haunting, it made me think what Google has given. Apart from the deep
information it has, Google has actually made us lazy, we will not try to search
a topic in our textbooks or reference books or even pick up a dictionary for a
meaning or even a spelling of a word, rather open Google it and parallel to our
FB tab will be going on our studies :P Just imagine if we had to go through
encyclopedias to get all that information :shock: But what would happen if it
weren’t there for real. Making thesis, presentations and wanting to know more
about something you just heard today, and the fact that everyone around you
knows it already is embarrassing :P yes, I am talking about “That awkward moment ;) ”
We would have had to study real
hard from our childhood, and if we didn’t study hard, then we would have to
collect all our subject books, so that for every minute detail we require we
would always be snogging them :P
And just think what would happen to
our fellow wasians, I’m sure you have some around. Go ahead and try asking
them, and you will remember the Cloromint ad ‘Dobara Mat Puchna’ (Don’t ask again..!!)
And finally ask yourself, what
would happen to us if there was no Google. After asking this question to
myself, I could instantly recall an episode of ‘Dexters Laboratory’, the one in
which Dexters head goes on fire and he circles around DD shouting
“My head is on fire.”
“My head is on fire.”
“My head is on fire.”
