The Power of Google: A List of Questions to Never Ask

Have you ever been Google slapped? The Power of Google can hurt. It's a sharp pain to any ego and a great lesson in humility. I don't like to see people in pain, but sometimes it's for their own good. Close friends will often Google slap each other, but sometimes co-workers and family members are shy to inflict pain. Here's a list of questions you no longer need to ask ANYONE, EVER:

• What's the address to Safeway (or any other common location on Mother Earth)?
• How do you sort in Excel (or any other basic function in any common software)?
• What's the phone number for Best Buy (or any business or public location)?
• How to tie a tie (or virtually any combination of words after "How to").
• Why does my head hurt when I yawn?
• Use caution when searching health-related questions.
• Product Reviews of any size, shape, or color:
• What's a good book to read?
• What nail polishes have staying power?
• What's the best cold remedy?

Please STOP annoying your family and co-workers. ALL of these questions can easily be answered through the Power of Google. Yes, it's true, with so many answers available online, why even talk to anyone? Precisely my point.

Beyond simple question answering, Google can provide so much more. More on that another time.
