Why do people waste time asking questions that could be solved with a quick Google?

They want different perspectives.

Because its human nature to trust complete strangers on the internet answering your questions rather than a search engine.

Also, using Google doesn't really get you the exact answer all the time. I guess it depends on what you're asking. There could be different/multiple answers to your question.

Laziness

Because people are lonely and want personal replies.

why didnt you type that in google?

I dunno.
