Why is it that so many people are asking questions on this board that can be answered by simply typing keywords into google? You have the worlds most powerful research tool sitting in front of you, but instead you decide to ask people you don’t know for the answers. Is this just a sign of how truly helpless people have become in todays society. That they need other people to Google their homework assignments for them. I fear our future if this is indicative of the next generations ability to work.

I’ve been wondering the same thing. Sometimes the best answer is simply: google it
No question here?? But I completely agree. Maybe they do it because they find the irony enjoyable.
People wrote everything that comes up in a google search. This way, people are answering your question to help you specifically, not to seem smart and simply state it on the Internet where everyone’s much more anonymous. A place where one can be recognized by their past quotes is a lot more trusting as people know them now and can ignore them if need be.
You are right, google is an excellent search engine, but not nearly as much fun as yahoo answers.
I think people ask and answer questions on this site to see how others react to them.
It is also easier to interact anonymously with others about personal problems.
in google.. you search for the answer..
here… the answer searches for you..
ALOT less work..
time’s yours.
