* So You Think You Can Google *

In a world of Google, it seems that every one has something to say about everything. All you need to do is just type the words into that long blank box at Google and type enter. Simple enough. Then, just copy and paste anything your heart's desire and post it in facebook, or twitter, or blogger or wordpress or tumblr or livejournal, your choice.

Thus, the amateurs end up appearing as professionals and the celebrities overshadow the experts. Just use the right ingredients of words and you will appear as anyone you want to. This is the magic of the internet.

What are books but decorations on the shelves of libraries. Researches are done on the screen of laptops and computers now; no need for leafing through the pages. Therefore, any knowledge known to man can be discovered by everyone.

This makes it easy for people to pass judgement over anyone. After all, they have googled the subject and found out everything there is to know (i.e. looked at more than 2 pages of search results) and thus, they are an expert now. Plus, they condemn the ones who stay silent on the subject (i.e. not posting anything about it online) as ignorant.

You there! Yes, you, with the big words and long sentences. Who are you? Where do your words come from? Why are they there; to condemn or to enlighten? Stop and think before you hit the "post" button.

Yes, everyone is entitled to an opinion, and opinions are entitled to disputes. You have a right to stand by your opinions, of course, but that does not mean being blind towards exceptions and mistakes.

After all, googling "mistakes" will not essentially lead you to finding all the mistakes in the world and how to avoid them. So remember that we are all humans and we are supposed to learn from one another. So, learn to read between the lines and be humble.

The high and mighty are the ones who fall worst, right?
