Searching Google or Google Search???

Google search, how convenient it is to just get what you are looking for at the tip of your fingers. I really like it! OK, I adore it! I would even go to the extent of saying I would not be able to live without it. Wait, that sounds rather extreme and dangerous. It sounds almost as if I over-rely on it. I guess that's the disadvantages of Google search. It takes away my creativity. It is so easy to use that anyone regardless of age or experience with computers would have any trouble using it. There is also a voice recognition to google search on most mobile devices as well as computers, hence allowing those with physical disabilities to search for "anything" without typing. Such convenience is great! Some might even say it is genius, that we are living in a "new-age". Well, this very reason of convenience and easiness has however robbed us of our self reliance as well as deprive us of our ability to stretch our minds. Also, are we still able to function if google search fails and breaks down? Not that I'm hoping for that to happen but it brings the question of "are we searching google in all that we do? Or are we just merely using google search in a balanced way.
