BEFORE GOOGLE:

AFTER GOOGLE:

Each day as I sit and work on researching and writing my reports at work, I find myself unpredictably gravatating towards that magical realm we call "The Google". Space and time ceases to exist in this fantastical world where dreams come true and we all are virtually endowed with a temporary advanced degree. Many studies have been done as to the effect of this type of superficial learning apparatus. Does this tool push our society to the brink of epistemical paralysis or is it a natural progression in our intellectual evolution?
Because what is The Google good for anyway?
How is gum made? Why do birds sing? What does E=MC² equal? No question or request, trite or silly, complex or intricate, can angry or repel the great Google. Nothing beyond its grasp and so unforgiving in its scrutiny of us, but so bountiful are its fruits. For we have become an even greater and more superior being due to the powers it so kindly bestowed upon us. Those days of yesteryear, where embarassing pauses lingered after a series of trivial facts spewed out of a know-it-all collegue's mouth have now been replaced with instant knowledge of inconsequential details at the tips of our fingertips. Who needs Harvard when we have now officially become graduates of The School of Google? Congratulations fellow Googlians.
