A friend of mine had posted in social media, “Happy
National Grandparents Day”. I wasn’t trying to burst his
bubble, but “National Grandparents Day” had
supposedly been already twice this year, for what it’s
worth.
He said that he had “Googled it” and so he posted it. I
was positive everything he said was true. However,
Google alters their trivial online info as time goes on,
yet they do not update their significant changes as
rapidly as the make them. It’s not only one person.
Other people at other times of the year thought it was
National Grandparents Day, or National Frankfurter
Day, or even National Nail Polish Day. The only thing I
am sure of is that people love the appeal of the info
that they find on Google, whether it’s factual or not.
Everyone “Googles” everything instead of just following
it from what they originally learned, which is how
Google came to be such a monopoly. It’s part of the
movement to rewrite history by making people think
that some things are other then what they really were.
Being that many things are now more in electronics
than in print, they are more subject to change at at any
time to someone’s liking.
That is one big reason why “fact checking” can be so
flawed. I, among many people, had studied so much in
school, just to be told today that much I what I had
learned is supposedly wrong. Shamefully, there is so
much dishonesty and people are more into selective
memory and selective hearing that what is appealing to
believe is true is more popular than the truth itself.
People can say,
“well, times have changed”, but when
they do, it’s not necessarily for the better. Progress is
supposed to be something based on enhancing
accomplishment or to improve methods, not changes
for the sake of changing things. As time goes on, many
will learn that when their methods fail or even backfire
from their intended goals.
