Interfering Google Get Out Of It!

If you used Google before they made the mistake of making it all progressive and, for the want of a better word, more “intuitive”, then you will remember the good old days that are no longer: you typed what you wanted into the search bar in your OWN GOOD TIME and Google just sat there patiently, minding its own business, not being weird and just being wonderful. He or she was your friend, happy to assist at all times. My, how times have changed…Now, Google is different. More evolved, more irritating and more in-your-face and righteous than ever. Gone are the good days of thinking for yourself. In are the bad days of Google assuming what you want to search for, and spewing it up without you ever asking. Verbal diarrhea, you could say.

Just like a really, really annoying person at a party who keeps finishing your sentences for you, even though the only thing you know about them is that they have bad breath and stand much too close, Google’s new system only makes you tired and irritable very quickly. Predictive it may be, but it is also pointless, if you ask me. While there are some small advantages from this being implemented, there are far more disadvantages. So, if you’re not using Google yet then don’t believe the adverts where Google allows an anonymous user to type in precisely what they want, because this is rarely the case.

A good example of this would be to type in, or try to type in DNA Testing . If you’re a very slow typist them Google will be able to keep up, but if you’re not, you may well end up searching for Dogs with fancy collars or Demons who are taking over the world, who knows. Google certainly doesn’t.

Pictures Of Eerieness

Looking at the following web-site, I felt – and feel – extremely sorry for the person who must have woken up in the dead of night one day and screamed “It’s fantastic! Yes! Bowl balls down a long flat strip of wood and make people pay to use the narrow strip of wood and shoes and call it…a…a…a…BOWLING ALLEY!”. You can see exactly what I am referring to by clicking on the following link. But be warned, it’s not for the faint-hearted, so if you find your heart beating much faster at the very thought of putting on some of those dodgy bowling shoes (and I can’t imagine why you would, but still, I bet there are a few), then be prepared for a terrible shock that may well do you over big-time: http://weburbanist.com/2010/10/17/a-striking-beauty-10-eerie-abandoned-bowling-alleys/

Personally, I’ve never really liked the idea of bowling. Firstly there was the whole throwing the ball thing which never made much sense to me, then there was the whole go-in-a-group-and-throw-a-ball-thing which pretty much put the icing on the cake for me. I always knew it was eventually going to die out and be beaten into submission by video games and the arrival of free pornography for all.

But still, even if you despise bowling as much as I do – or more – this site is definitely worth a looksy. The photos are really quite eerie, and definitely take you back to a time many moons ago when the computer was just this sorry-looking thing that sat In the corner of the room trying desperately to load up a single web-page (that was never much good anyway, let’s be honest).

Right, I’m off. One of them Fosters Funny adverts has come on TV and reminded me that I would indeed like to drink a beer.
