Re: To Google or Not

[ Edited ]

When Google get "information" from you....it knows that the  "word" was searched from your ISP. 

 

Google does not know that ISP is "YOU". 

 

It's just a "spot" in your area!

 

Google certainly is not spying on every ISP on the web!

 

Not familiar with your ISP.  Google it!

Folks must be very, very busy with hectic schedules if they can't devote 5-10 seconds for an answer!

I google so much that I wish I could make money doing it

I think It makes a difference if you have a handy device or not.

 

If I didnt have a smart phone or a tablet, I may not go out of my way to go to my computer to search.

 

But I have both and live alone so I am constantly searching, especially if Im reading or watching tv and want to learn more about something.

for me I do not google.  I can get what I want other sites. I don't use google maps and such. My husband does though

I spend 8 hrs a day in front of multiple screens looking at data. 

 

At the end of my day my eyes are tired and my brain is spent. I don't know the latest on a "celeb", podcaster or youtuber.

 

I would rather bake some cookies or paint a room then ask AI to create cat memes at 3am. 🙃

But the OP stated that she had a question about something (which could take 5 seconds to answer), not that she needed to create memes.

I use Brave on my laptop, but Google on my phone.  Big user of my browser search engine.

I have a smart phone and a tablet, but I don't carry my phone around with me and my tablet doesn't live in my lap when I'm at home.
