Google Is Not All That GOD , Actually


We swear by It , we thank , we reckon , we pray to it, we love it , we can’t survive without it ,we are addicted , it’s our best companion , on this our professions survive. It has answers to all the questions under this sky. But there are loopholes .
If you are expecting a comparative study of search engines with some blue links here ,then move on to next blog or carry on with FBing .
As this is more on humanity than on world wide web ‘s vanity.

Ok , still reading ? then let me convey If some of you cannot digest poetic way of writing and facts are what you feed on, then visit here.
PS: Just making things easier for the readers , as they say “Time is money “.

Ok, if some of you managed till here , I hope to meet you in the end.heh don’t worry, a very short post , but as they say "60 seconds make a minute" .

Once upon a time there lived a boy named Tom …….hmm , I told poetic na? , why the hell am I constructing a story out of it ?Fine no more drama , read on.

All these years we used our tiny little human brains to store -persist- analyze -create data and now everything is click away.
For all our queries we often don’t know the answer, but we all know how and from whom to fetch it .
We don’t tend to remember ,we really don’t require remembrance !! cause there is someone storing it “ALL” for us .We only tend to buffer information for short duration and take pride in flaunting googled info.
The art of querying is nurtured more than the art of resolving and crafting .And in this era, in a galaxy of software crowd such studs are worshiped .
Those cool geeky dudes you often encounter ,whom you think “I know it all” are most of the times hollow shells with information overload .Most of them flash some buzz words and fancy links and feed it on sites.
They can no longer create , they plume click away found info. We all do the same at times don’t we.
Gone are the days when libraries were turned upside down for one research presentation in college . When stuff was more created than circulated. When teachers were guiding force .Good in a way that dependency has reduced and one needn’t run behind human sources and Knowledge is ample and is freely flowing all across but creativity is suffering and is curbed unknowingly . Memory loss is a common complaint now.

Just think. All we need to teach our children in future is How to Google - copy paste -social networking .These are the key words to success . Everything else pretty much will fall into place.
It will be their new mom n dad. Yeah from abc to job hunting , from colors to photography , from anatomy to child birth ,from relations to business, travel , java blah. It instructs you on all. And pretty much like parents it can control with child locks.

Yes , the author truly acclaims , applauds and also uses this revolution in her day to day life .And there is no denial of life without web. But there is a different angle to it . Cause an overdose of anything can kill u .A line has to be drawn somewhere such a way that only necessity is extracted. As.............

it teaches you dance not grace
it teaches you music not rhythms
it builds networks not relations

it teaches you coding not development
it teaches you technology not science
it teaches you skill not ability

it gives you facts not salvation
it gives history , not future
it’s a tool , not the solution
it’s a path, not your destination

So let it be what it was meant for
let it give you answers , not results

let mentors still be seeked for enlightenment
let friends than just profiles, be in persons
let Daddy still teach you how to ride a bike
And let Mommy still tell you 2+3 is five .

And let god be god .
