Topic: Google is 25 Today - What has been Your Experience ! (Read 332 times)

Well I will only use google search engine when I use a vpn. But I do think it is a good search engine to use  I just do not trust google to not be stealing my information or to be tracking my steps.

The one I do trust more is Duck Duck Go. It does not always give me the best results I dont think. But I feel more safer using this one then google.

With the help of Google we can search each and everything and this characteristic of Google is used by many students which help them most in finding the detailed information. There are multiple applications but people used Google more often and people cannot leave Google as this act as a searching tool for needy.

It provides quick information in a matter of seconds which means that with minimum time we can find lots of beneficial information that we wants to identify and learn. Every little information is present on Google and one can easily search information related to jobs, study and anything else.

I haven't really been exploring other search engines aside from Google. It is just so easy and familiar since I have been using it for as long as I can remember. Google always give the answers that we need and if we are not satisfied, we'll just have to dig deeper. If there's a new search engine that will arise, people might give it a shot. But I think it'll be years for it to happen. Anyway, technology keeps on innovating.


That's why there's an old reminder saying think before you click. Google is providing it's service and it is our responsibility to be careful of what we do online. It is amazing and at the same time scary to think that Google could anticipate what you are looking for based on your previous activities and preferences, but I think it does that so it can offer a more suitable service. Well that's Google for us, it knows more than what we provide.

It's hard to find people now who aren't associated with Google.In the current social system or government system, we are constantly using Google in some cases because Google fulfills many of our basic needs.Of course google has become our friend because with Google we can talk about everything like a friend.I have been using google since 2012 and since then google has helped me in many ways in happiness, education, technology and many other fields.So far many search engines have come but not even close to Google. China or Russia have come up with many search engines, but they can stay close to Google. How can Google's services be so extensive Can provide other search days.Google is providing a lot of services which is enough for now, but it would be good for us to have more comprehensive services.In my opinion google should provide any kind of bad comments or information search so as not to give absolutely true or correct information because many times i get annoyed with Google due to wrong information etc. I think one of my requests is to improve their system with accurate information along with an information search so that I get what I want without any unnecessary business or publicity referrals without doing.Many annoying ads come while using Google, they make us very annoying to get information. Finally, I want to say that Google is providing us with many convenient services, so the bad side is coming No but request to make service to their facility as per present time.

I think Google are a jackal in sheep clothing.... because they are making gazillions of Dollars on your information and they are sharing your data with governments all over the world. 

Yes, the service that they are offering are fast and reliable and it is "FREE" but it come at a cost. They know a lot more about you, than what most people would be comfortable with... but you allow it, because it is "FREE". 

Google owns approximately 232 companies for a total cost of about $20.89 billion. (Source - Forex.com) Example : YouTube / FitBit etc..

Yes, I have been using Google for several years and I love it until now.
Maybe I've been using Google for maybe more than 10 years, especially for its search engine.
I still use Google's search engine rather than the others because I still feel the results are better than the others.
I don't know what kind of improvements Google needs, but maybe Google can focus more on developing its AI to provide more accurate results.
And because my phone is also integrated with Google, everything is connected well and so far, I haven't had any problems.

They know too much. They lied and were fined concerning privacy issues. Everyone should consider refraining from relying on Google services unless it is a necessity. There are various alternatives exist that protect user privacy. However, it is indeed that people must sacrifice some convenience in order to gain some privacy benefits offered by some of the alternative platforms.

That is to say, even though they do some unhealthy and cheeky business practices, a lot of people utilize and gain the benefit of the services offered by them. It is a great service, and the user base speaks about them. But too much centrality and dependence on a big company is surely not good. Personally, I tried to minimize any interaction with Google, and now exploring an option for an alternative that could replace them.

Google has changed the world and has been very useful to us, to the point that we have adopted the verb googlear. Not everything is rosy, however, and a mega-corporation that handles so much data and exercises censorship in a covert manner is not my cup of tea. Although it remains to be seen how I would handle it if I were the CEO. I am not referring to results, but rather that sometimes we criticize decisions or policies that if we had the power to make decisions we would surely act differently in at least some cases than we do now.

I think I discovered it back in 1998 and immediately stopped using the others I was using, Altavista and Yahoo search if I remember correctly.

Since 2014, when I got my first computer at home, it's been 9 years of relying on Google as my primary search engine. I know Yahoo was around back then, but I've always been fond of Google's user interface for search.

I haven't really considered other search engines because I've been so accustomed to using Google all this time.

I wish Google had AI that could handle more complex and rapid commands, like changing the background of a photo or generating images based on the words I type, as well as AI to enhance audio quality.

Yup, for so long. And we've got this word in our country when someone asks a thing, GMG (Google mo g*go). Means google it stupid.

15 years or more, maybe?

Although there's duckduckgo and bing, I still use Google even it eats a lot of space on my RAM! LOL.

I have no idea, it seems that they have all of it already.

I still use google to this day, and I am aware that there are other alternatives that people uses and maybe one day I will be starting to use one of those but so far at this moment I still use google. They made something that is good enough that I wouldn't need to use anything else so far, I may need it in the future if something goes wrong but for the time being it hasn't provided me with a reason to change it.

I used google chrome as a browser and I stopped using that, so I am not dismissing the possibility of not using google itself one day, but so far it has been my friend. Plus it is still the most used one in the world, so it is really normal and common for someone to keep using it even to this day.

Google is well known search engine and support different services to the user base on my experience it's supports all my need and also being convenient with all the things I need to know. But of course google gets more user friendly unlike the others so id prefer this than the other platform.
Seems like I'm getting old since I used the Google at the ugly version of it.

I remember using Google for the very first time and was amazed how reliable and accurate it was compared to Yahoo, Infoseek, AskJeeves or whatever else was out at the time.

So I am not surprised they grew to this great popularity and pretty much are the only search that most people use. From what I recall Bing is maybe used 2-3% and same with Yahoo.

Google is my savior during my high-school days and until now, it has been a great invention and they continue to grow which we should be more thank full as I’m sure google helps you a lot too. I can’t see anyone to replace Google in the next coming years, probably they are here to stay as well because they continue to adapt change and improve their technology too, we’re all lucky to have someone who invented this technology.

Definitely Google has been my friend ever since in my school days and it's like a magic and charm when I was searching for academic things back then. Going to the library is quite far in my house and my school was also distant and that's why it was like my go-to library back in the days.
How long was it already, 25? Oh my, I'm getting old.. to scare all of you, we're all getting old. But honestly, this is a good technology that everyone has embraced and been helpful to us. Who has thought that this search engine will grow a lot this time and have become the most sought compan by most employees.

I agree, and I hope that they put it back.

I cannot imagine my life without Google frankly speaking since it has become such an important part of my life along with YouTube. Almost every person on earth is a fan of Google which makes sense.

The whole 25 year doodle was amazing and I hope BTC gets a doodle in a similar manner. Also, the name 'Google' is way better than 'Alphabet'.

Can't believe Google is older than some people in this forum  , 25 years of scrapping user's email, passwords and pictures, they should by now be the most search engine that contains the world's information that we don't see, no wonder China and Nort Korea fear the use of their engine in all those regions and I hope there are regulations that protect human rights from how google use this information because these information alone is wealth under google that any secondary company can have with just swipe of money from the company to google, I really hope data protection is really working behind the scene.

If I come after  Google, I must commend them for making Google map easy for the public, it is easy to travel and know your next location and how many kilometres to cover before getting to your final destination, I think their innovation also made transportation system like Uber so easy, they are the reason why most of them are easy today.

Yes, I always use google when I'm having trouble or looking for something and I learn a lot from google. They say that if you don't see the answer, google is there. google is your friend as long as you know how to search

I'm not sure what this has to do with Bitcoin and Economics, but well....

Since I had my fair share of web search before Google existed, I can tell that it was a great leap forward, a great fix for all that mess.
With the years passing by the search results were better and better... then the quality started dropping, the scam links and ads for scams have started filling the space and so on.

Meanwhile GMail was made, and Android, and Maps, and so on, and Google started being more a resource hog and a privacy invader than the initial wonder-tool, making decisions that helps more their ad business than the users. It's a sad development, but this is what money (and hunger for more wealth) does.

I wish to see this kind of questions when Bitcoin will also reach 25 years and I wish to believe it will not become as corrupted as Google has became.

When i opened Google and saw that 25 written in middle of G25GLE, i had no idea what it was about until I came to know that Google has been with us for 25  long years.

Congratulations to Google for the 25th anniversary, today is the 25 birthday of Google. Google is the no.1 search engine.
