Google - new addiction?

Google indeed is a big part of our life today. It’s got almost anything you can imagine, when it comes to the internet-related services and products. If we need to find operations hours of anything we go to Google. To find a way to a new address we go to Google. To make a free phone call within United States we go to Google. To translate or spell check a word we go to Google. You don’t know something or make a bet on a news and your “helpful” friends would shout “Just Google it!” right the way. Are we addicted to Google? Although, it almost seems as we can’t do anything on-line without Google, my opinion is that we are not addicted to Google at all. Internet users and businesses such as other search engines say that Google is or may become a sort of Monopoly in the nearest future. I honestly think that as long as there other search engines such as Bing, Yahoo, Ask and dozens of others we have choice of using any other than Google and therefore there is no monopoly. We use Google because it’s just more comfortable for using with its simple and intuitive layout, it’s the fastest to give you search results while you still typing the word in the search text area, and it’s relatively safe by blocking dangerous content out of its search results’ list. We are not addicted; we are just using what’s the best out there. Competitors just have to work hard now to come up with something more reliable and convenient to use for the majority of population to switch to their product. Power that Google has is deserved and reasonable, Google doesn’t suppress any other search engine by some kind of unfair game; at least I naively believe so. Google simple does its job the best and people like and use it.
