Oh Google How I Love Thee


I am the google queen.

If something can't be figured out, I say, "Google It".

It is normal for me to say this about ten times per day.

Each time I say, "Google It". My co-worker, like clock work, will say:

"Do you know that 15 years ago Google did not even exist?"


And each time I shake my head and say, "I don't believe that".

The first time she told me that, I truly didn't believe her so I googled, "When was Google created?" Yup, I did.

Google has become a part of me. If I want to know something, I google. I can't imagine not being able to google.

Has Google changed your life too? It might not be for the better, but it definitely has changed mine.

  6. Not only has Google changed me...but I also love when they change the logo up on the homepage and you can have lots of fun with it. Like the one day it was Pac-man...or today how it was some sort of under the sea vessel that you could control. LOVE IT!

  7. At first we used a search engine at school that had a dog. Then one day, a kid said to me, try this new search engine, Mrs. M. called google. That opened my life. It's not the only one and in education it is recommended that you use others, but when you want an answer almost immediately.....Google it.

  8. Faith,

    Sadly, I've too been affected. I don't even bother searching for things on Yahoo! Any searches I do are always on Google.

    It's funny how you didn't believe your coworker that Google hasn't been around forever. My kids will never know a life w/o Google.

  9. LOL! I still remember when you had to use Compuserve and AOL was becoming the new big thing. And there were like six or seven different search engines you could use, and Google wasn't one of them!

  15. I LOVE Google!! I Google everything and I do the exact same thing at work. When someone asks a question, I say "Google It!" My co-worker told me when she had a question she used to phone the library- haha. One of the reason's I named my blog "Forever Searching for Answers" is because I am forever looking for an answer on Google for EVERYTHING. I am the most curious person in the world and Google has def answered more questions than a normal person would've been able to!

  21. Googling is everything. I google my name, my blog, my baby planning everything... Wow, googling is addictive like blogging :)!

    But some can have bad experiences with google too. Once someome googled my husband's name and they revealed his identity on the blog he used to comment on, it was very painful and mean, but he came out okay.

    Google is good but painful as well. But the love for it will never pass :).

  25. My blogger dashboard is wack- I didn't see this post there.

    Back to your post- I love google as well...but to be quite frank- I SUCK at it. I google something and don't find a result, but a friend goes and google the same thing and finds everything and then some. I need to use better key words..meh. I hope you're having a wonderful weekend!

  26. Yes I also am a googler lady...I know exactly what you mean. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

  27. lol and I thought I was the only one who constantly promote the concept of self initiative search engine. I always tell my clients (mostly youth and newcomers) to google everything they are curious about instead of waiting for the answers from someone. Google is good, but only if you live in a country where the internet is not censored and controlled. The downside to google is that its a form of mind lazy if such a thing exist. We lost the art of good old fashion research in the library or just reading books. Everything, well almost everything is available via google. Hell, it event starts revolutions in the Middle East today.

  29. That's funny. I do the same thing, whenever my fiancee brings something up and we can't figure it out... I always say to google it. And it always finds me the answer. I much prefer google to yahoo search, bing, etc.
