Could we live without google ?

One of the few big corperations that actually deserve the hype they get. They provide an amazing service. Gmail, you get over 6 GBs for free, and lots of brilliant features. Google Docs, where you can convert your MS office documents into internet based documents which can can share with friends and co-works and allow multiple users to edit them in real time, and then export them as Office documents again, or as PDF etc. Google translator, though not perfect, is very very useful. The google image search is one of the quickest and handiest ways to get images you want. Google earth, need I say more. Google maps, where you can easily look up places and addresses, and even advertise your businesss for free (anyone who searches your businesss name on Google, the first result will be your location on a Google map). And of course the feature that started it all.....the Google search, the fastest most accurate and user friendly search engine in the internet. How much do you pay for all of this, which is the equivilant of thousands of dollars worth of document processing software, gps software, image gallerys, email, disk space, translation software.....not a cent, it's all free. Do they deserve the hype, why YES they do!
