Internet searching...oh where do I begin.. :O) I am a Googeler, pretty much everything I knew prior to going back to school I had learned from Google. To this day I use Google on a daily basis. Whether it is to look up phone numbers, the name of a song I can't get out of my head or even answers to essential life questions like "how do turtles mate"? A random question that a friend and I had debated over for entirely way to long. How would we have made it though life had we not known how turtles do "the deed"? Thanks to Google we don't have to worry about that.
When I was a kid in elementary school they had us use a search engine called Ask Jeeves. I wonder if anybody still uses that? From what I remember you could type in a whole question and Jeeves would answer it for you. It was pretty cool having a butler answering questions. However, at the time you had to actually be at a computer to get online (gasp). I love technology these days, everything is so much easier ask Google.
It is amazing how common our use of these search engines is becoming now that we are pretty much ALWAYS connected to the 'net. I wonder if we are losing our mental acuity? Something tells me we are. Uh oh.
