Google as oracle
When I asked Google what I should do with my life, he/she/it/they directed me to an article by Fast Company on the book with the same title. In one of the comments, a woman from the UK mentioned that she had googled the same question and was doing an article on all those who had as well. My e-mail to her was bounced back and I was deeply disappointed. I too wanted to know who had googled that question, why they had googled it and if they had discovered any deeper truths after it. I then realized how imported the search engine has become to me. I must use it at least five times a day. It helps me continue to pretend as if I know anything for my little boy by allowing me to answer questions such as, "What does a virus look like?" But I think my favorite use of Google is to extend the pleasure I derive from texts. I love being able to easily locate information on authors such as Po Bronson (especially when they have blogs).
