Google is your friend. Or is it?
Google is a most useful site. Travel, restaurants, how to program a radio (Dave/dlq. 
) and much more. Sunday I wanted to compare features on different cameras. I can do this on the camera store web site but by typing in Camera A vs Camera B I got to a great site that compared/rated the two cameras I was interested in. Google is my friend.
However, one must really take the search result with the old "grain of salt" when one Googles for medical information. Google can be helpful, but it can really provide info that may not apply and that can certainly cause some anxiety. We know this and yet we google. A family member has a medical issue. Not all info is in, but I Googled anyway. Google did not tell me what I wanted to hear today.
What about your "googling" is it your "go to" web searching sites?

If I remember correctly, Rick read about Google in "Playboy" years ago. As it happened he didn't only look at the pictures.

I remember when Google only showed you the first 10 results of a search. You had to request to see the additional results. Geez, that was a long, long time ago. It's been my default search for many, many years.

Smart phone users should know...Google listens. A friend and I were talking about some product or other. We then each googled something generic about that type of product. He got some random results from his laptop that related loosely to his search. I did the exact same search on my smart phone and Google responded with links that were related to the product we had been discussing.

I routinely delete all my cookies; if for no other reason to speed up my pc.
