That just goes to show how effective "Googling" is compared to alternative Search tech.
It's been said that "to Google" has generically come to mean "to Search", but I think googling has become a synonym not for "searching" but for "actually finding what you are looking for".
When someone tells you to Google something, they are not telling you to do open ended research, they are telling you that you will definitely find the referenced information if you enter a specific term into the Google search bar.
- Nasrudith 6y agoThat just means it is an effective reference point index and accessible unlike say "Look at this $300 Introduction to Agronomy book ISB Number Y to tell you why what you said about modern agriculture not caring about soil erosion is completely wrong". If someone tells you to Google something it essentially implies that it is already answered and accessible like when asked how to spell a word answering "use a dictionary" means to stop wasting their time essentially.
