Module 10: Joe, the early Google

        That was a tough article to read.  I think I understand it, but I end up rambling for the next few paragraphs about something completely different, I won’t be surprised. 
         I found it humorous when the guy punched in the logic ”how do I get rid of my wife” and it responded “is she a blonde or brunette?” “Blonde”, he replied.  Then the logic or Joe answers back about giving her some kind of poison that is green and mixing it into some frozen soup that he could make her when she got home.  “It is improbable that you will be suspected” Joe says.  This, along with other example like “how can I hide the fact that I drink been from my wife” are questions people had that the logic, Joe, could answer.
        The vibe that I got was that as far as the logic went, it really wasn’t too educated, at least compared to today’s logic’s-computers.  I mean, I am no expert on poison but I would think that a type of poison that would kill a blonde woman would kill a brunette one just the same.  And I am sure you would still have a high probability of getting caught either way.
        There was a common theme throughout the story that I was able to find though.  The theme was that when anyone had a question, whether sincere or not, they would turn to the logic and ask it.  The logic would then reply with an answer.  Fast forward to today when you are likely to hear the phrase “I’m not sure, why don’t you Google it?”  It is the same concept.  Whenever someone does not know an answer they can pull out a device and Google the answer.  Questions from health, finance, various hobbies, news, history, disease, and various others are answered daily.  One of the questions a person asked the logic in 1946 when it was just beginning was “how to win the lotto”.  It is funny because when you start to type in the beginning part of that sentence in Google today, it comes up with “how to win the lottery” as the first subject.
        My personal opinion with Google is I think it is a great tool to find out cool information on a variety of subjects.  I use it every day, and I feel my life benefiting from the use of it.  However I feel that you shouldn’t listen entirely to Google to execute life decisions.  Google is a great guide, but it is not the only guide.  For instance, type in Google the phrase “what are healthy foods to eat”.  Most of these will be beneficial, but it still depends on the person who consumes the food.  To put a long story short, you need to weigh in allergies, and probably some other factors that I am not aware of.  All in all I thought it was a really cool story!
