Kids today, will probably never understand that certain sense of wonder, wich was the early days of the internet.

But oh boi, let me tell ya. When you think of Google now, you may think of all kinds of different sorts of buttloads of random tech/internet/smartphone/advertisement/espionage/privacy/email/youtube related things. But how I used to think of it back when I was a nineties/naughties (very naughty indeed) kid, and maybe still think of it today, as just a search engine. And strangely enough, just that search engine alone, was so much more...fun. More interresting. More intruiging. More magical even, than pretty much all things Google nowadays combined.

I certainly won't say that it was more practical in every way imaginable. Because Google does have some loads of very practical internet things, like having Google maps on the phone. Quite handy when you're somewhere you haven't been before.

But way back then. In that strange time of me ol childhood. Just that search engine alone was one incredible source of entertainment and various assortments of interresting random bullshizzle and whatnot. Like, imagine this if you can:

You're a little kid in elementry school. And it's recently has become a normal thing, to have this rectangular, gray crackling machine (or more of them next to eachother! ':D) with a little gray TV-box-screen thing. And some boards with buttons and stuff, with this thing that had only two buttons that has a weird ball attached to the bottom. This strange bundle of machines hooked up to eachother was called a computer. It had a connection to the internet, just like our phones do today! But the awesome difference was. If you used Google, to search for some word or phrase, anything in particular or random couple of words. Then you could find all sorts of random things and information about it! Holy shiz man, there were some fun things and interresting stuffs to be found with that old Google back in the day.

Now we may have it better though, by instantly getting to see stuff you could buy, that is vaguely related to what you wanted to search for, followed up by some popular social media pages, also completely different, but technically, still vaguely related to the words you were looking for.

Yup. Times back then with ol' Google.

Okay this old millenialboomer should maybe touch a little less grass.
