“ You cannot find everything on Google”

22 Oct, 2018

First of all , I would like to thank my school who gave me this opportunity to write this blog  and enhance my writing skills. La Montessori School is  not just a school for all the students but it is like a second home  where a  student can be groomed with moralistic values which indeed make this school as a best school in Kullu  district as well as in Himachal Pradesh. Empowering student , entrepreneurship , skill development as well as best faculty has led to the best board results in these previous years and help students to get ready for the future life. The extra co- curricular activitities  such as sports  and cultural activities lead to more and more creative bright minds and make them multi taskers. The quality of the education as well as love and care can make this school a best CBSE school  in future . So now coming upon to the issue which I am going to discuss with you all is about “google”

Do you feel anxious, irritating and dejected whenever u can’t find anything on Google that you want. If you are not careful , these emotions can take over your life . I have seen many people including my brother spending too much time fretting in unanswerable questions. Sharing my own personal experience , I sometimes feel depressed for this menial things . But we are helpless now . We and our life is fully surrounded with technical world where we just have to say the things and it appears or happens. Indeed Google is a highly technical advanced technology that we cannot be aloof from even we want to . As said correctly “ to every action there is a opposite reaction”.  Similarly Google has advantages as well as disadvantages too. In today's world we are so dependent and have relied upon Google that we have to think twice to do any hard work.  So in this situation should we call ourselves highly technical sounded people or this situation would  lead to a destruction ?Even if Google solve two third of a problems of our life but there are few things that Google can't even help us out with. Human beings suffer a million of emotions in a day where he cannot just rely upon Google to uplift his or her mood. so now I would like to draw your attention towards those things which Google can't even find out because becoming aware of few basic realities can eliminate a lot of pointless worries that we make while searching on Google :-

 

  • Exhaustion : you will never find a kind of a physical exhaustion that comes from running a half a marathon or climbing up a mountain of 5000 feet. Winning of full Court basketball game and dropping a 70 feet of tree and chopping it into fuel wood. The happiness that comes from all these things in nature cannot be compared to Google.
  • A person's loneliness cannot be much further removed by using of phone. He or she need someone near him or her to express his feelings and emotions. Listening to music and entertaining a mind is a matter of few hours but our whole life cannot be relied upon just phone and being anthrofobic.
  • Thirdly you can never find a life changing Inspiration on Google. The conditions for that inspiration to occur to be a deep emotional connection with a message really speaks to you in a time of need. While for this a source can be a book , a play , a person,  anecdote ,a beautiful incident or a tragedy. I still can't believe that a post or tweet can be a life changing inspiration for anyone in this world and that's for sure !!!
  • Moreover people on Google express their life to be full of happiness and joy but the reality is what we know. Today we see thousands of people who claim to be able to help to find out happiness , joy , eagerness etc …. but the truth is we can only find out these things in a real life experience or an event 

    and taking a good hard look on the mirror.

    No matter how much the virtual world comes to resemble the real one , it can never be the same. There are some uniquely human experiences which we cannot define or express or find out in the Google itself. From all these things the main motive of mine behind was just to tell you that leaving and expressing yourself in the internet is not the way of living . It's just another addiction to distract you from what really matters in your real life. The day is not far when everything that the world has to offer will be readily available to us . No matter how much the technology and the internet becomes sophisticated, there are some things which you will never ever find in the search engine like Google or Bing.So after all this can’t we just close your eyes and think about this sensitive issue? Could it really be possible that almost everything that you are searching in the Google is the thing that you have found no where and “ Google” becomes your last option !!! We all human beings seem to be self obsessed and officially obsessed with Google . Indeed this story has plagued my mind for far too long. Typing this out is my feeble attempt to make sense of something that is common to all of us .

At last I want to mention a beautiful quote that says “What unites us as a human beings is an urge for happiness which at heart is a  yearning for Union.”

Thank you
