Is google loosening connections between people?

There are about a 3.5million searches per second on google.

So, let’s just directly get to the point, we have a lot of information available here on the internet for free, it had somehow affected our thinking abilities and the real interactions with people.

For example, when I have some question, as usually I’ll search on google and get an answer. Waooo, it’s great, how easily and quickly I got the solution.

Earlier, I used to either call my friends or teacher for that or ask directly another day, till then I’m thinking about the same, widening my imagination.

One more benefit of this was, it somehow gave the other person a different perspective as well, a thing to think about.

Moreover, we were able to keep that information for a much longer time.

By searching, I got the answer so easily, since I haven’t exercised my mind for that, I just don’t remember that for a much longer time.

When I’m having my lectures, I tend to focus less, because, I know, I can understand that later through google. Most people have this story doodling into their brains.

Even if I have any problem regarding that topic, asking the professor isn’t the choice, I would say to myself, “oh come on, you have google, chillll!”.

Even if we ask sometimes, our lovely professors have a beautiful answer “google Karlo”.

One effect of this is ‘the interesting conversation earlier we had, is lost’.

Not just that, in a long run, can you imagine it is affecting our patience level badly. We’re ruining our thinking capabilities somehow.

When you have something to tell, or you find interesting, you tend to share that online.

The heydays are gone, when we used to be curious because our friend might bring some interesting story and the bag with more questions than the books itself, today.

Something needs to be done, or rather googling might be much heavy on us.

Let’s pledge and decide, we will ask the questions from our people directly until it’s too much.

Take some breaks from googling twice or thrice a week is a great start.

So, ready?

Let us really bring those interesting conversations back. They really matter, believe me!
