How many of us have got mates, workmates, family etc who think Google is some super secret website?
How many of us have questions asked us every day where we give the answer "Google it" only for a question to come back "How?".
Every day at work one of my colleagues will ask some question or other and even though they've been all over the net, I'll find what they want after 2 seconds Googling.
I've put it has a favourite on 5 PC's but still they spend ages typing things in the URL guessing on sites. eg www.plasticfences.co.uk etc.
I come along, type plastic fences into Google and its as though I'm Paul Daniels.
The other day my mate had spent an hour looking for something.
"What you looking for?"
"A picture of a boat"
Me types boat into Google Images - "There you go"
"Amazing"
When I find what they're after they affectionally call me Mr Google as though I've got the power.
On here we see many threads asking :
Anybody know the lyrics for ...........
Anybody got the chords for ...........
What is the song with lyrics that go .........
Who was the actor in ............. etc etc etc
Google the bloody thing.
There is the other way around -
I've recently found a workmate who actually thinks Google is the internet and he types out URL's in Googles search box.
So, do some of you have family/friends who think you are dead clever and have the power of Google?
