Google- The All Powerful Vallarie Perez SPC 260

In regard to answering whether or not Google has "too much power in our lives," my initial response was to say that it does not, as the internet has become an accepted part of daily life in contemporary society. However, after taking a moment to consider this question more carefully without the bias of today's norms, I'd argue that Google does have too much power and influence in our lives. Despite the fact that there are other means by which answers to certain inquiries, no matter how big or small, can be acquired, we default to Google. The convenience of having access to anything at the tips of our fingers via smartphones and laptops creates a more facile and expedient solution to any problem or confusion we may be experiencing. Instead of taking a moment to genuinely make an attempt at thinking the question or uncertainty through, we simply "Google" it. The desire to use our own intellect and imagination in regard to providing our own answers, whether or not they are correct, has been diminished and it directly affects our creativity without us even being aware that we're starving our own potential and the tools we have within ourselves.
