There couldn't be a better time ... an era... for the introverted, xenophobics or even the ones who are too-proud-to-ask.
Google is an answer to their prayers ... their antidote ... salvation...
As for me, the list of - what/how I used to do before and what/how I do now (read Google) is massive. And why? Coz it's now a 'basic' thing to do when you want answers. Remember the days when you came across a new word and instead of asking somebody, you were encouraged to look up for it in the dictionary ... it's the same.
It amazes me to think of what Google has "turned me into". From being an out-an-out people's person all my life, I have become an avid Googler. Initially, I resisted, did things the 'old way' deliberately, but in vain.
Now, dear Google, let me make peace with you before you get me wrong. These aren't allegations for bringing about this change in me or the likes of me. I am hooked on to you ... you are indispensable to me now. I only wonder, how many such other technologies are looming out there waiting to turn me into a 'look no further beyond your laptop' kind. What next is going to suck out whatever 'outdoorsy' and 'people's person' is left behind in me? I wait.
P.S : Will Mr. Regis Philbin ever consider replacing all other lifelines from his show with just a ' Google in 30 seconds' lifeline?
The Annual Forbes Millionaire list will surely run out of space.

I agree...Google has become so much a part of our lives now. At times, I wonder if tomorrow I will google to find out things about myself on the net! :) I will probably end up trusting the google search results more than I trust myself! ;)
