Try Google: When did Google become a verb?

The verb 'Google' has become so familiar in modern life, it seems to be what we need, since the flow of information began to make us dizzy from the 1990s.

A brand reaches its peak when its name is no longer a proper name but becomes a common noun. Words like 'Band-Aid', 'Kleenex' and even 'Dumpster' (respectively medical bands, tissues and trash cans) are all spoken of to medical tape, paper towels and crates. garbage, not a proper name anymore. To become a verb is less common, such as 'Hoover' means 'vacuuming' or 'Skype' means 'video calling'.

Whether nouns or verbs, they all originate from the use of the product that the label provides. But few companies produce a dominant word in every market like 'Google'.

Larry Page used Google in a dynamic form for two months before setting up the company in 1998. This word appears on Google-Friends listserv (mailing list server) when the search engine is broadcast at http:// /google/stanford.edu/. After a brief introduction of new updates, Page message ' Have fun and keep googling! '(Happy and often Google!). Your search engine now has over 100 million gigabytes, so we did what he said.

'Did you Google her ?, Williw asked Buffy at Buffy the Vampire Slayer's last season. 'She's 17!', Xander said. The following year, American Dialect Society called the name Google the 'most useful' word of 2002. By June 2006, it appeared on the Oxford dictionary.

Don't know what, Google, the whole world is there (?!)

The verb 'Google' has become so familiar in modern life, it seems to be what we need, since the flow of information began to make us dizzy from the 1990s. The mission of big technology companies is to bring us the illusion of order. Google's mission is to 'organize information around the world'. So it is true that the network is sold to demons.

But 'Google' verbs does not necessarily mean 'organizing' anything, but rather sending information to Google and pretending that you get back the information sent from somewhere.

Google and anyone who uses Google thinks that 'natural information' already exists on the web before Google has a mission to organize them, is part of this lie.

In fact, this information is a Google product and it will be of no value if Google does not accept and rank it, according to its own algorithm, and encourages innovation to benefit Google. Therefore, the verb 'Google something' actually accepts Google as the information world and is also the way to that information.

Why do we believe that image data, symbols, words, numbers make 'the information of the world'? You cannot Google the taste, the aroma, the contact, and the sound search is very bad. Google only joins 2 of 5 human senses and calls it the whole world?

Comparing a bit with the Baidu search engine, though it is still censored, the name seems much better. Baidu comes from a poem about an annual Song lantern festival when maids leave home. The last paragraph has a few lines of poetry translated temporarily as follows:

Hundreds of thousands were busy looking for her in the crowd
Suddenly turning his back on the spotlight, seeing her shadow there.

Baidu explained that their name prompted 'finding a hidden beauty in the chaos of the crowd'.

Organizing information of the world sounds like a big ambition. But the search for beauty in the midst of the crowds seems to be poetic of the old Internet. Unfortunately, sometimes we let that poem fade away and the beauty keeps hiding.
