Google+Maria

Google is a search engine that you can use to help you find information. It is a starting point for pretty much any project or simply if you want to use a website but you don't know the URL of it. You direct it by typing in key searches that have to do with your topic. The reason that it extends you is because it helps you encounter external information. It reduces you because sometimes, bad websites come up when you are not searching for them. Google was not availiable to the public until 2004. That means that up until that point, it was much harder to find websites and information. In order to find information, you had to look it up in encyclopedias or other refrence books. Google is very important, not only to my family but to many other families as well.

Google encourages us to search different topics. It discourages us because, as I said before sometimes bad websites come up when we are not looking for them. The need for Google is real. Without it, many people would not know how to get through even a simple work day. Google is not something you can sell becasue almost everybody knows about it. However we have turned Google into a verb. If you don't know something and you ask someone, they may say, "Google it" instead of "look it up." In this way, we advertise it but we do not sell it.

The enviornmental impact of this technology is that people may not ask as many questions because they knmow they can just as eaisly look it up. The impact on our work and education is how our research has been made quicker and easier becaue of Google. In the future, they may create something of a "super" Google which would improve the Google we know now. The impact of Google on our social lives is how we can create and iGoogle and chat people. Also, Google has its own email: Gmail.

In conclusion, Google connects me because I can deepen my understanding of topics I am interested in. It disconnects me because I can search on it addictively and look up information that will not help me with the given task. Google is such a great thing to have. It is such a helping hand and it is hard to imagine life without our goog friend Google.
