Google is a site that I believe plays a decent role in the average person's internet use. It is the most powerful search engine on the internet and it gets millions and millions of hits everyday. This company has expanded so much over the years. Since the start they've added more algorithms in order to get you the search results that you want. They use factors such as where you are or what you have searched for in the past in order to get you the links that you want to see. There is a lot more personalization of Google than there was in the past and in order to get this personalization, Google has been collecting information from numerous sources about you.The question is, is Google some power hungry dictator of the internet? My answer to that question is no. How much control does Google really have? Do they force you to use google to search for what you want? No, but since its such an easy to use search engine that gives you the most results out of any other search engine than its kind of hard to not use it. Google sometimes blocks out certain links because it believes that we have no interest in them based on our search history. Some might say this is blasphemy but honestly if you really wanted to find things based on exactly what you searched then you could choose another search engine, its not that hard.
The addiction to Google is very real. I use Google multiple times a day to find certain things like how to cook certain foods or anything really. Now with smart phones you can literally find information about anything anywhere you go. People say that this is making society stupid but I don't qualify memorizing facts as being smart. Google is just making it easier to find out certain information so you don't have to struggle at memorizing it, therefor you can focus on memorizing the more important things. Nowadays, people need Google. Scratch that, people need a search engine to get through the day.
People love their privacy, is Google taking that away from people? Essentially, yes they are, but in the grand scheme of thing the sort of privacy that Google is violating really does not matter. Sure Google knows what kind of clothes you wear or what kind of pet you have and things like that but anyone who sees you walking your dog can see that. Does Google send personalized emails to you making fun of the things you searched on Google? If they did that would be kind of funny. Does Google have an ulterior motive that eventually they will only show you results that they want you to see and then they will brainwash society and take over the world? Possible, but highly unlikely. Google knows a lot about you as a person but all in all, the things they know about you aren't being used against you.
