Stark realisation: I no longer depend on Google to find stuff

alexjcampbell:

I no longer depend on Google to find stuff. I still use it to locate things: e.g. “find me the Wikipedia page on Ted Kennedy’s acquatic activities”. But I rarely - if ever - use it to find businesses, places to visit, interesting blogs, etc.

The difference between finding something and locating something might seem mere semantics, but it is essential to this discussion. When you’re trying to find something you don’t know exactly what you’re looking for - you are searching in some general direction. When you’re trying to locate something, you know exactly what you’re looking for and you just need help getting to it.

I can definitely relate to this, especially if you do a search for any computer product online. I pay the premium to not care
