You can Google it......

Every time I hear that phrase I end up laughing. (Because it is usually coming out of the mouth of a complete idiot.) It is a way for someone to have validation, "If you don't believe me, you can Google it." I always imagine it being said with a thick southern drawl; the oo stretching out forever.

I bet you just said Gooooogle.

I wonder if Google has change the dating world? Someone could be something they really are not, with the help of some research. For example, if you make mention of that little known band that you love, and the person takes a moment to answer back, I am sure it has been Googled. Then this person strikes back with "memories" of this concert on that date, or how the drummer and the lead singer had a fling. You now think you have found your true love, all because you thought he got you.

Google is great because you can be so anonymous when looking for an answer to what that mysterious rash is. (It also saves a lot of money on office co-pays, when the doc would only tell you a simple remedy anyway.) To find information anonymously is comforting as a user, and may be part of the success that Google has become.

I am an avid Googler; I love to use Google, and I think that my knowledge doubled from 1995 to 1996 when Google was released. Since the induction of Google there are many self-proclaimed geniuses, and thousands more that have taken the IQ test to verify what they already thought.

I am sure that my children will never have the need to ask me anything when they are adults, as it will be less of a hassle to look for all the answers on Google. *wiping a tear from the corner of the eye on the realization that I really won't be needed.* And if you don't believe me, you can Google it.
