Search Engine
for release 01-09-07
Washington DC
The reason that Google will soon own the world is because we are all searching.
Everybody is searching for something. They are searching for love or sex or a job or the miracle cure. That's why Google will own the world. The cumulative yearning of mankind will eventually accrue, the searching, the searching, and trickle into Google's coffers.
It's in the nature of humans to yearn and search. We are hungry and we yearn to eat, so we search for food. We are cold and we search for shelter. We are lonely and we search for companionship. It's already hard-wired into the lizard brain, Google has just found a way to tap into and to capitalize on these most primal urges.
We search for gold, we search for peace, we search for the Holy Grail. We search for the place on our backs where that itch is coming from. We search through drawers (I like the white cotton ones), we search through closets, we search through private places like our consciences. Just Google it.
"For every one that asketh, receiveth: and he that seeketh, findeth: and to him that knocketh, it shall be opened." --Matthew 7:8.
Some people are searching for themselves. Have you ever done a search for yourself? Sure you have. And if you haven't, just type in your name and find out how much the world knows or cares about you. It's a humbling experience. You are nobody if you aren't represented in cyberspace. You don't exist if Google can't search you.
"It wouldn't matter what other people thought of you if you knew how rarely they did it." I forget who said that. I did a Google search on it and I couldn't find it, so maybe I said it.
Some of us are searching for the 'lost chord.' Or perhaps it is that lost person or our lost youth or ideals, or illusions, the keys, the sunglasses? But we are all searching for something. Yes, we are all searching and Google knows that. Google knows everything.
The truth is that if you are not seeking something, then you are dead. If you are not seeking wealth or comfort or love or salvation or freedom or enlightenment or oblivion or perfect abs or SOMETHING, then you are dead. This is why Google will win. They have discovered how to sell you the life force--the yearning, the seeking, the searching.
The Poet's Eye sees a world of miracles and wonders, it's the modern age of information, so we don't have to search on foot, we don't have to search on horseback, we don't have to search through libraries. We have a modern thing. It's called the search ENGINE. Oh, we're not in the horse and buggy age anymore, no. We can search the whole world at once at the click of a mouse. We aren't riding horseback, we're riding internal combustion mouseback search engine hummers with minds of their own. Buy Google stock.
Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I travel the world
And the seven seas--
Everybody's looking for something.
Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you
Some of them want to abuse you
Some of them want to be abused.
-- Lennox-Stewart
Good piece, L'Rod... but this classic would've been....(?>X&#$PP@*)
Searchin' by The Coasters
[words: Leiber & Stoller]
Well now if I have to swim a river, you know I will,
And if I have to climb a mountain you know I will.
And if she's hiding up on a blueberry hill,
I'm gonna find her, child, you know I will.
Cause I've been searching, oh yeah, searching,
My goodness, searching every which a-way. Yeah. Yeah.
But I'm like the Northwest Mountie,
You know I'll bring her in some day. Gonna find her.
Well Sherlock Holmes, Sam Spade got nothing, child, on me.
Sergeant Friday, charlie Chan, and Boston Blackie.
No matter where she's hiding, she's gonna hear me
Cause I'm gonna walk right down that street,
Like Bulldog Drummond because I've been searching,
Oh Lord, searching, mm child, searching every which a-way. Yeah. Yeah.
You know I'll bring her in some day. Gonna find her.

Google is in the process of digitizing all the books in the world. That's their goal. See this and other links at their site:

There's a fine article on Google in THE NEW YORK REVIEW OF BOOKS, the last edition. From this article I learn that the company, founded by two graduate students from Stanford University in their twenties in 1998, has, as its corporate motto:
"Do no evil."
