Google
has become sort of bail-out package for many lives including me. Though it is
just another search engine, it has set a bar to the search industry and
revolutionized the web today. What if the word "Google" disappears
from the world. There is no search engine like Google. What will be your
reaction? OH! What! I cant live any longer! I am all alone!
For a
moment, lets assume this apocalypse be true. Now what, Wont there be any life
then? A famous saying goes as :
"if
you dont do your work , somebody else will."
If there
was no Google, there wont be any googlization but yahooization or bingization
had been the possibility.
If there
was no Google maps, mind would have to work a bit more (our grand parents did that and travelled all across the world)
If there
was no Google search engine functionality, would countries not develop(O come on China is developing astonishingly even
without it)
If there
was no Google plus, couldn't the families stay connected (facebook is
there). And probably without all these there will be much more real interaction
between family members.
If there
was no support of Google search engine, wont there be any discoveries,
inventions or advancement of human life. Infact, we had a number of revolutions
before the present IT revolution. Our food was as delicious as today even
before the recipes provided by Google.
If there
were no Google ads, won’t the people be not able to knew about the brands in
the world? Infact many a times, ads misguide us and get us to a number of
unverified information.
If there
were no Google, won’t there be any education. Infact I can go to this extent
that, Google has killed the institution of teaching. It has become a cheatsheet
while doing homework freeing students to think creatively.
If there
were no Google, would there be slow pace of learning? Infact it has made us
rely on it, and we have become like we do not want to learn because we can get
everything, anytime on Google.
If there
were no Google, the companies won’t have progressed.
Is the
current generation really lucky that they have Google in their times?
I don’t
fully agree to this. Kids get to know things they are not supposed to know, or
supposed to know from their parents, because goggle cant teach you how to
behave morally. They have loads of information, and unable to find what is
important for them (the problem of excess).
(Being a Computer engineer, couldn't miss this part-
coding without Google.)
I would
ask a simple question. How was Google born? There were coders who develop
Google without using Google. Probably Google has made coding accessible to
many. But its not behind one's coding acumen. Infact it has made us dependent
on it. We need to check syntax every now and then. We don’t even try to stress
our brain to memorize any of it.
I have
read it somewhere that Einstein used his maximum portion of his mind. Probably
because there was no Google at that time. Are we making our mind idle
deliberately and loving this comfort zone?
At the
end, I would say probably we love Google for its compactness- a complete
package for most of our needs. Had Google not been there some other company
would have been at its place.
Disclaimer:
The article is not written to belittle the famous company but just to point out
that life is not that dependent on Google. And putting it in the list of things
necessary for survival doesn’t hold truth.
