I’m old enough to remember all of these things you’ve condescendingly assumed I must be ignorant of, including trying to find my way around LA freeways, during my first hours in America, at night, with a paper map unfolded on my lap, trying to work my way backwards from the address of our motel to our current location, as that changed constantly at 60 mph. Google Maps is much better. But you’re missing my point, and also the specific thing I was replying to. My point was not that things didn’t work before Google, obviously they did - we’re here, now. The universe didn’t start with Google. My point is that so many businesses and people today are directly, constantly, relying on the multitude of Google services that if Google went away overnight it would be a catastrophe for them. Google going away overnight is the thing that was posited in the post I replied to. I also made no assertion about whether Google is a net good or not, so again you’re replying to something I didn’t say. (For the record I do believe sum of the services provided by Google and the cost at which they provide them is a net good for the world. No, In not interested in debating that)
