In recent times google is our best friend. It’s the key to all our problems. It is a source of massive amount of information. All it takes is a minute, to search for the content.

OTHER SIDE
But as we know everything comes with a cost , so does google. As every coin has two sides, one good and one bad , google too has that. Google has made life so easy , that people forget to work. As every information is served to them like a plater, they have become lazier in finding things out. They have grown far apart from teacher’s and books. Back in old days, when a student asked a question, a teacher would have explained to him in such a effective way. But now they consult Google, google is the new teacher in town. For collecting any information they don’t go through any book, they just open google. But this is a huge disadvantage as students while consulting google on their phone loose focus. This is distracting as texts , calls , messages continuously appear on their phones.
Again, as there are numerous amount of sites are present, people don’t really go through each and every article. They just point out the keywords, and make a list out of it. And all these are done without any comprehensive study. Ultimately, we get used to selective studying and accordingly our brain functions. This not only hampers out method of studying but also hampers our knowledge and depth about things.
Google has mould itself to our personal assistant. People now a days don’t find the need to remember things. They have lost touch with their diaries. They just rely on their assistant, the google.
Unfortunately, much of what is awesome about Google also makes them increasingly terrifying with each passing day. We have to say that Google has changed our lives for both; the good and the bad. It has changed the way we interact with people and how addicted we have become to it, in such a short time. Addiction is never good. Whatever you type or search in Google, it all gets stored with your correlated IP address. Not so cool now, is it? You might be mighty relieved to hear that, right now, not a single person is manning Google. Phew. But you know what they say, if you have something that you don’t want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn’t be doing it in the first place. You treat Google as if it is God, look around you and look at you, you yourself have a God within, never doubt yourself. The time of dictionary is on it’s way to extinction, isn’t it?
