Google

Google is a great search engine tool to be able to use in the 21^st century. It is as if you have an encyclopedia times 100 at your fingertips. You can look anything and everything up within a matter of seconds. There are few limits to Google. There is at least one thing that connects everyone world wide; Google.

Some teachers still want students to memorize everything. This seems like an antiquated idea now that we have Google. There is so much information that you can access on Google that there is a limited need to memorize anything. Most teachers want students to memorize everything from every kind of flower to every river in South America. The students just need to know is the most known flowers and the biggest river in South America; the Amazon. The rest can be left to Google.

Google can be a great assistance to you both at work and at home. You can Google (yes, verb and a noun!) someone that you need more information about or you can go on a satellite map and find a street in a remote country. Before Google, finding places meant using one or more atlases. Now you can just go to Google Earth© and go to the satellite then focus in on the specific place you need, and print a color map if you need to find the origin of the Spaniard cockatoo, use Google. Do a search for both information on and images of Spaniard cockatoos. In a matter of seconds you have all the information you need.

Google is a great tool to get any information you need or want in the most expedient way. Francis Bacon once said, “Knowledge is power” and with Google, it’s true. Especially since I found Francis Bacon‘s name with a Google search!
