Just Google It.


So if you remember watching the Super Bowl, there was a commercial involving Google. I was thinking about writing a post on Google even before seeing that commercial, but damn Google beat me to the punch. The only way i would have known that they were having a commercial would have been if i just googled it.

Google has ultimately been the go-to site for anyone who has the Internet and needs an answer. In the past I've blogged about how we were able to survive without cell phones but how did we survive without Google?

How did we write a research paper without it?
How did we get details on health concerns we may have?
How did we know what restaurant we wanted to eat at without reading a food review?
And how did we know how to get there?
How did we know what actor we can't think of the name of or how old they really are?
How did we stalk our prospective boyfriends or gitlfriends? (just kidding... or AM I?)



Years ago, the word 'google' meant neologism that refers to a number of unconventional words, phrases, and pronunciations. Today, the phrase 'just google it' implies 'you'll find an answer that simply'. And often times, it's true.

So where WOULD we be without Google?

I guess I'm just going to have to google that to find out!


And just in case you missed the ad...
