Google is the smartest entity I know besides the Lord, of course. I spend more time with Google than anyone or anything else which BTW, I am not proud of. No doubt relationships have suffered from this whether it be time spent or arguing with someone over the info received from Google. Google has its pros but it also has cons that can override the pros. The answer is balance. Those folks with addictive personalities are prone to creating an unbalance with Google so keeping this in mind could alleviate problems when using Google.
It is so easy and quick to find answers to just about anything using Google while at the same time it can become a crutch that is hard to let go of including withdrawals when not available. Stress, irritability, withdrawal from society, and depression just to name a few are all symptoms of Google withdrawals. Google can become an addiction. So, caution need be given when using this high tech app. Sometimes it is best to find other ways to answer your curiosity for yourself and for those closest to you. A label should be created, ‘User Beware’, when using Google. It surprises me that Google has not been sued by now. If someone can win a lawsuit over coffee not being labeled hot, then Google doesn’t stand a chance, but here we are decades later with no pending lawsuits. Wow!!
Please understand that everything has its advantages and Google has many. The problem lies in portion control, so to speak. Too much of a good thing can be dangerous. We don’t have to know the answers to everything and definitely not immediately so remember Google has a place in the world. A place, not the entire world.
