Ahhhhh!!! Google! That's Where I find the Answers!

Annabellethecat66 — Thu, 20 Oct 2016 13:28:05 GMT

I constantly see on here where people ask questions. I've been asked where I go to find some of the answers I post!!

It's called google! I simply go to the top of my computer and ask the exact same question posted here and poof! Up comes the answer(s).

It's easy really... If I can do it...anyone can. What I know about computers would fit on the end of my pinky finger.

Technically it should be said to

"go to your Search Engine for more information".

There are many different worldwide search engines,

but Google is by far the most popular worldwide.

I'm with you on this. People at work always come to me with questions about computers, where to find files, etc. etc and they tell me it's because I know everything. I tell them I don't know everything, I just know how to use search engines to find anything.

I am proud to call myself a "Google Girl" Have already been to a few time just this morning. Gave up cig. and soft drinks in 1997 probably easier than if I ever had to stop Googling. Welcome to the party!!

Just be careful because there is a lot of bad information out there on the internet.

Bonjour.

You can't trust the accuracy or truth of everything you read on the internet. You have to be very skeptical.

Yeah, Google is great for some things but you have to be wary on other things.

Some people seem to think that everything they read on a Google search is fact.

There's a lot of junk to be found on the internet!!!

After using Google for 30 years here (or whenever it was formed) - - - this 'subject' surprised me..

I work with someone who is always asking me this easy stuff she could find herself on a Google search, like if there's a particular store in a particular city.

I told her one day that I wasn't her Google Monkey.

I think she stopped speaking to me for a week.

OMG!! There is not a font size large enough for LOL to describe how I reacted to "Google Monkey" I just hope no one down the hall from my office heard me. The nets will be sent. I will have to remember that one.

There are quite a few posters to these forums who seem to expect everyone else to be their Google Monkey in all things - and someone always will be - but it won't be me.

I have an issue with people on the boards who search for something and present it as a "fact" and then defend it to their board death!

I am not on the boards to glean "facts", it's a forum within a shopping channel! Too routinely some folks present the internet carp and expect everyone else to swallow it or chide those who do not.

Most often I am seeking opinions on a product or someone's life experience on an issue. I am quite capable of discovering "facts" myself.

Google is usually my starting off point.

I never click on links from here. I never take what people post here in their link to be gospel either.

I would have asked what "Baidu" was, but googled it instead.

I think people sometimes ask a question just as a conversation-starter. Of course they know they could have looked it up online. Reminding them that "google is your friend" isn't much fun.

When I became a grandmother (a little over a year ago), I saved this quote.

Most new parents now google everything that comes up, as they should!

Way better than looking at Dr Spock's baby book.

I became one in Aug. 2014 and just this summer my son asked me "Mom how in the world did you raise me with out a cell phone, computer or even cable since we lived out in the country? I thought finally he appreciates the hard work I did even if it was only daily life without electronics.
