It started with a Garmin GPS in our car. Bahrain roads were new to us and this sweetheart helped us to no end. 'In 600 metres take a U-Turn,' she would say in her sweet voice. We took her directions and blessed her every time we got lost. But then her software became obsolete and she took us via old dingy lanes. Poor thing, all kinds of expletives were used to curse her!
With the invention of Google Maps on all our phones, getting lost is not a problem anymore. I remember the first time we went on a holiday; we took a picture of our hotel and the lane it was situated in so that we can always find our way. Now, thanks to Google baba, we would always find our way. Isn't it amazing how these inventions have have made our life so much easier. I mean, we could never think of going to an unknown city without doing any kind of research. Now we can just pack our bags and venture out. You open the phone and it tells you the nearest ATM, closest Indian restaurant or whatever you want to know.
Not only roads, Google has made recipes easier. From Tandoori Chicken to Kahlua cake, Google has been a big facilitator in defining the kind of cook I have become. Google News, Google Translate, Google Docs... they have made our life so easy.
Googling effectively was the one thing I learnt during my MBA days . Now I know what kind of words to put when I am looking for a particular thing. Usually I'm pretty smart in digging information from the WWW. All thanks to my post graduation in business administration!
Google even brings a smile with its auto-complete. Just check out the following. These brought a smile to my face; go to Google images for more Google auto-completes!
And so I say, Hail Google!! Even Blogger is a publishing tool by Google. Double hail Google!!

DeleteAnd how to... well... Google can teach all 'that' but can't really teach all 'that'!!!
'Let me Google it' is the most common phrase I use! Whatever it is, I know it will be there on Google!
