SEARCHING ANSWERS ON GOOGLE

By Chhavi Gupta

Its often said that books are humans best friend because they guide us, teaches us , nurtures us to make us capable of what we are. But just think when the books you hold on to read turns into the screen reading and you swipe it rather to flip the page.

Yes, this is where we have reached from finding books in library to searching/google them online.

The path to success is achieved through determination, dedication, mundane lifestyle and laborious of work done behind it and as always quoted, " Hardwork is the key to success".

But now, at present times, this quotation holds back when we search our answers on google which are uploaded anonymously. There lies no hardwork but just at the click of mouse, we get our queries solved.

With Google providing solutions to all our problems, we have become solely dependant on it and this (surely not in good way) encourages our youth and school going kids to browse everything instead to use their own brains or to juggle between books, newspapers, articles or editorials. The struggle of getting the toughest of work done by our own and the endless happiness it used to give have very little value today because online surfing and comforting our home, school and profession with famously known 'Google Guru' is on the fast pace.

Its not bad to use internet for our problems but in limited space and that too in understanding concepts not to copy them as a whole. At this point of time when we are racing towards digitization, e-learning and technology upgradation, it becomes very important to make ourselves and our younger ones understand the pros and cons of computers, web surfing, the difference between finding solutions oneself or getting them readymade on e-browsers. The boundary line needs to be made to encircle what is right and how much it is right just like our national demarcated border lines drawn to protect us from outer harm and likewise the state borders for inner security.

This applies to each of us to be aware of our dependancy on technology as what it takes from us should never be greater than what it gives. Therefore, Google but not to be Googled.
