Our ability to actually encode the information we receive and store it in a long term memory has depleted, only because we have Google to fall back on in our desired information needs. Perhaps a better more blunt way of saying it, we're becoming LAZY and Google isn't helping. In no way am I bashing Google of their wonderful products; however, I'm basically ranting of our society becoming more and more lazy as days go on. Once the Baby Boomers era is old and decrepit (if many aren't already), our need for libraries will soon fade away-- why? Because the costs of publishing are expensive, and the demand for non digital media will slightly decrease as more and more digital media will become available, most likely in a form that is very attractive to us rationally frugal consumers, FREE!!
Basically, could Google be taking part in a pseudo brain for our database of knowledge? If we don't have to be challenged to store things in our long term memory of our noggin (mostly on behalf of if we forget something), we'll always have google right next to us. Sounds like a copasetic drug to me. Yikes!
Some food for thought
Google, has practically become the Microsoft of the web; moreover, with their recent purchase, such as YouTube. Internet domination seems to be their ploy, as they already pretty much cover (and do a good job of providing easy and fast access to their products) Mapping, Blogs, Videos, Message Forum (Groups), Email, and much more. The only thing that they don't seem to provide is Web Hosting services, or even their own auctioning site. It's fairly humorous that they choose which companies they want to compete with. Various Bill Gates projects are one of their endeavors-- which brings us to a Google OS.Anyway, whatever their market strategy is, they are stepping on the toes of all these smaller online businesses trying to differentiate their products.
Today traffic is unbelievably busier than it was yesterday and tomorrow will be much more busier as well. Think of it this way, everything there is a naive wide-eyed youngster obtaining their license in the state of Florida, at the adolescent age of 16, that adds another vehicle, and not just "another vehicle" though, a driver of a dangerous vehicle who thinks they're invincible. Silly kids, automobiles are for adults. With our recent medical studies we are overcoming the age barriers by a long-haul with keeping the elderly around longer. Red-Flag, this just means our roadway systems will become overly populated with more and more traffic, not to mention seeing these old folks driving with their blinding cataract glasses, they'd be equally dangerous driving blindfolded. 
Anyhow, Click
It all starts out with a few hello-good mornings, a cup of coffee--the steaming aroma and taste that brings us to life, and opening the blinds and shades of the windows to bring the morning sun into view. Today happens to be pay-day, which is a day that is not to be complained if you've ever taken a look at some of the bums around your area. Thought you had it hard? Just imagine how much worse it could be, right? Think of how a dog feels when he's jumped up and down, twirled circles while rolling over several times-- all for a little itty bitty piece of a something that resembles bacon. Observe how a canine only requires a little treat even if they have done as many tricks as their mind limits them to performing-- also this is a cyclical and dogs won't expect more and more each time. This just goes to show that humans are greedy and can't accept being rewarded for what they have accomplished, as they will always want more and more. Anyhow the profession I have earned, as well as the office environment that is inhabited by a lucky handful of us, is wonderful. So here I sit in front of this light emitting gun that is being shot towards my face.
For all of you Nintendo/Mario enthusiasts, this is quite an astounding video that a friend of mine, (Chris) had sent a few days ago for me to check out.
