The Ultimate Browser

Google is just a search engine for individuals where they can look things up and find important information. Others may use Google to just simply check their Gmail or work on a presentation with their fellow classmates. The problem with this is that any of their online activity can lead to their personal information to be exposed since it can be accessed by Google which many people not may be aware of, or have heard about it but did not think it was a big deal. 

 It is hard to say weather or not Google has too much power over our lives because everyone uses it in different ways and has different outlooks. I believe that most people are unaware of how much time they actually spend on the internet and rely on it to do everything for them. Whenever, we have free time we are using Google to research information to help us in our career, school work, with personal issues, and more. The problem with being on Google all the time is that it does endanger our privacy. According to this article Google is taking control over our private lives. Despite the fact that Google accounts for nearly 80% of all Web Searchers and  90% of all mobile device search it discusses how the data is used to sell targeted ads. To me this is an invasion of our privacy and should be not allowed. 

Even in this short clip from Family Guy’s video they are able to find Meg’s location thanks to Google Earth but Brian was shocked that you were able to do something like this online. The issue with this is that most people are not aware of the many things Google or even the Internet for that matter can do and still use it because it does have so many easily accessible things for us that help us get things does efficiently.
