That evening, the weather was cool. My friend and I, were coming home after a hectic day testing and updating a library management software we designed for a secondary school.

Things do go wrong at times, and when we do not have contingency plans, we can end up being victims of negative circumstances.

The car we were driving in, broke down halfway the journey and we had to look for a road side mechanic to diagnose and fix it in as little time as possible.

The day after, the car was fixed but there was a new problem: the break light is always on. After taking the car to three mechanics, it couldn’t be fixed.

These days, there is hardly a question you can’t get answers to on Google. If you know how to use Google very well, you can solve almost any problem. I want you to get this: there is an answer for almost any problem on Google.

I decided to do a little research online. First thing was to get the car’s specification. It was a Honda V6 2002 model. Then I entered a simple search query: “My Honda car brake light is on indefinitely” and clicked enter.

I sift through the search results until I saw two YouTube videos. I downloaded the video and it was super explicit. Google told me that if the brake lights were always on, then the break light bumper switch is broken. The video tutor showed me step-by-step how to fix it and it was awesome.

Today, there are 41 billion searches on Google every month. In 2006, this number was 2.7 billion. Over a period of nine years the information on Google has increased by a whopping 1000 percent.

It is estimated that 4 Exabyte of unique information will be generated this year, that is more than the previous 5,000 years. Most of this information will be available on Google.

There’s truly a lot of information on Google. Next time you need to ask a question, ask Google. You will be surprised at how effective the answer can be.

The company Google is making its search engine, www.google.com a personal digital assistance. In the future you will be able to discuss issues with Google using your voice. It will be able to answer your questions and provide valuable suggestions, real life.
