I do----I am curious by nature and find things on a daily basis that I want to learn and know more about and Google & You Tube make that possible. goo·gle /ˈɡo͞oɡ(ə)l/ verb verb: google; 3rd person present: googles; past tense: googled; past participle: googled; gerund or present participle: googling search for information about (someone or something) on the Internet using the search engine Google.
I DO google a whole lot, but not necessarily for the sole purpose of learning something new. I also use YouTube quite a bit. If you are interested in learning new things, why don't you consider taking some of the online courses from Harvard? They are free and you can study at your own pace. https://www.extension.harvard.edu/open-learning-initiative
You are so smart, I thought you may enjoy it. I understand though, I don't want to take an online course either.
I only search for things like "why did CLR stain my galvanized sink"........or.......other similar things.
No, I Bing every day in order to learn new things for my job. If I Googled it, I'd have to wade through too much nonsense before I found anything worthwhile. At times, I even Yandex it.
I do Google a lot, maybe not everyday. I tend to use my Google Home if i want a quick answer. Have never tried Bing or Yahoo. Could anyone tell me why these two are a preference, as opposed to Google. Interested to know.
I never use Yahoo anymore since they had a massive data breach a couple of years ago; just a personal preference besides them being an unabashed liberal mouthpiece. Google tracks your every move but I still use Gmail and other Google apps. Bing supposedly doesn't track like Google but I am not convinced or trusting of any of them. To answer Lon's original question, yes... I use many search engines including Google frequently. They make life much easier; information is truly at one's fingertips.
If I were younger, I might be more concerned about the privacy issues surrounding Google, but the main reason I don't use it is that it doesn't do what it's supposed to do well. Rather than helping me find what I am looking for, it decides what I should be looking for and gives me that instead. Basically, I don't like Google because it doesn't do a good job as a search engine. Bing is doing a bit of that too, but not to the extent that Google is. Both Google and Bing used to be better search engines than they are now but, of the choices I have, Bing does the better job. Plus, Bing Rewards are nice.
Yes Lon, I am always looking for something somewhere, researching, something.. for that I use all different mediums of search facilities, including Google and Duck Duck Go For example tonight we were watching an old B&W movie on TV, and we were trying to work out who the female character actress was who had such a terrible accent, so I just as I often do , popped onto IMBD to find out who she was Aside from the physical search engines I also Have Amazon echo ( Alexa)..and Google Home... so several times a day I'll ask them random questions...
Google gives me a limited number of options, then stops short advising me to download a bunch of apps on my phone and tablet. Bing, Yahoo, and several others don't do that.
I guess I'm one of the few people left who really like Google. Maybe it's because I'm used to using it.
