After trying out this exercise, I grew to realize that Google can be the mysterious street dealer offering you illegal content or that annoying fallen angel tempting you to commit a sin. What do these two have in coming? They drew you into temptation, hovering over you until they get what they want. Sounds dramatic and scary, but, it seems a bit too real to be living in a world where technology is definitely a part with our lives. So to narrow down my amount of temptation, I decided to find a creative method in order to remind myself to stay away from Google for at least one week. That’s when I thought of a quick design to use a wallpaper for my phone. I realized I will be looking at a lot of screens every day, why not let my phone give me a little reminder of what not to do for one week. Sounds a bit childish, but, it was somewhat helpful.
For one week, I tried to stay away from YouTube, regardless if it’s for entertainment or find sources for presentations. To illustrate this, I had to dig around Bing; instead of using Google Search, when it came to looking for videos for my animation presentation for a class. What I have noticed, even though it was a different search engine, Bing categorized, it’s videos from content posted from YouTube to other video social networks. It’s like Google asked Bing to display their services first before the others. However, I end up choosing Vimeo or Dailymotion as my resources.
Overall, while growing up with Google, it somehow became another limp for society to use and live with. Maybe Social Networks or services like Google could become the “other parent” for an individual to interact with. In other words, besides our parents, educational figures; i.e. teachers, and the Media to influence us, online services can be next.
