Everything can be googled!
Georgian national proverb
I don’t remember when I wrote my first query in Google search window. It probably happened 8-9 years ago, at one of the antique computers in Tbilisi State University. Since then my life has never been the same. Frankly, I don’t remember what life was like before I discovered Google for myself. It was much harder for sure than it is now.
Google has turned 13 today. He/she’s a teenager now – the most successful teen ever on the planet I suppose. Google is admired and hated. Both admirers and haters of the search giant have their justified reasons for loving or detesting it. Frankly, I feel a bit uncomfortable at times realizing that Google possesses so much information about me, however this does not stop me from using its search service at least 10 times a day.
Google is no more just about search. It is about pretty much everything – started from electronic mail ended with a newly introduced social networking site Google +. Critiques argue that the company has been extended to scary sizes. Yes, indeed Google has left almost no chances for competitors to compete. Whether it is good or not, is a subject of discussion between monopolists and anti-monopolists.
I just say: happy birthday Google. Keep my data safe and intact. (I know you won’t!)
