Crazy in Love with Search
I’m mad about ‘online search’ or even just ‘search’… and why wouldn’t I?
Consider the life we all live, as much as they differ there are many common threads:
We search for love..
…search for happiness
…search for wealth
…search for health
…search for meaning…you get the point
The phenomena of ‘the Internet’ and the popularity of search engines are because they have been enablers to things we already do naturally. We instinctively search for stuff in life and guys like Google help us search for stuff online
I oftentimes see people make “much of a muchness” about the Internet whether from a marketing perspective or just a website – forgetting that real people are driving the technology not the other way round.
So what I hear you ask? Well dear reader the point is are you driving all the technologies at your finger tips or are they driving you?
So why am I crazy about search? Because you are too without perhaps knowing it. That search leads to our own “realisations” on many different levels and helps us to evolve as human beings. This evolution is what’s necessary for us to give machines, artificial intelligence and the autonomy of thought scientists and robotics engineers are (guess what) searching for.
Somebody once said (answers on a post card) that there’s nothing new under the sun. I would challenge that statement and suggest that evolution in the way we fulfil our core needs, wants and desires is ‘new’ because it allows us to do ‘new’ things. Things which the world has never seen before.
A connectedness be it good or bad we’re spoilt by in this day and time.
So whether you use Twitter, Google, Bing, Facebook, YouTube, Yahoo! Or indeed something else … Search to your heart’s content because neither an algorithm or clever piece of software can replace the heart which gives life to all of those technologies – YOU
