    It is amazing to me that so many questions can be answered more quickly and easily with a very simple google search. Idiots.

    With many questions, you are correct. However, a question like "Who was the backup center for the Celtics in 1968?" may take some searching and you may need to go through dozens of web pages in your search. Ask that same question on YA and within 24 hours, you have the exact answer, with no effort from several Celtic fans.

    A student working on a paper may ask, "What were the causes of the Civil War?". The google result for that is totally overwhelming. On YA, a brief, clear paragraph that will suit the student's need may be obtained, if lucky.

    Think of it this way. Google does not provide answers. Google provides information for a person to determine the answer themselves. On YA, a person tells you the answer directly, no thinking. It works like when you were a kid and you said "Mom, how do you spell xxx?" and Mom said "Look it up in the dictionary !!" Mom if she answered with the spelling was YA, the dictionary is google. Same concept.

    actual, many questions could be spoke back by doing a seek. yet i think of many people do no longer certainly be attentive to a thank you to do a seek or a thank you to narrow seek consequences whilst they get an overpowering form of them. plenty much less complicated to have somebody else do the quest and locate the single internet site that solutions the question. I additionally think of that individuals like the social ingredient of this internet site. whether the respond they get is fhe results of somebody else's seek, it feels love that's coming from a human, no longer a seek engine. And, you are able to no longer forget the reality that some people are only lazy.

    I know right. It's like they want us to go onto Google, and look up the answer to their questions ourselves. I always search Google before I ask a question.

    Sorry about this but this is the only way I can ask a question on here. When I post a question it shows up under my account but doesn't go live for others to see it. Does anyone know why?

    We all do. However, we prefer Human interaction than search engine. Humans tend to answer our questions better than robots.
