Dim Witt asked in Social ScienceSociology · 10 years ago

Why do people ask questions that could simply be answered by a simple google search?

I can understand why someone might Ask because they need specific information, advice or opinions - but to Ask about information that can be goggled seems to just be wasting time and space on the site.

    what other reason could there be other than them being lazy and stupid and unconcerned about other people's time and energy.
