I Googled the effect you were talking about. How Google may change our thinking and communicating.
Google said your fears about remapping the human brain, and changing communication modes are groundless, but the search did turn up your name, address and telephone number, as well as credit card number, dependents, place of work, and buying habits.
A representative from Google will be coming around to see you in order to assure you that there is nothing to worry about and to find out if your surfing experience is satisfactory. There will be a few routine questions and they are asking that you co-operate in order for you to achieve a more enjoyable and fulfilling internet experience. A Google spokesman said that dissatisified and disgruntled internet surfers who do not trust the technology do exist but these people are slowly becoming more and more scarce. He would not comment on the exact process by which resistance abates, except to say that attrition of dissidents to a new, dominant technology is normal as acceptance increases, alternatives decrease, and users literally become non functional or irrelevant in the internet realm. He added that this was "good for Google, and good for people everywhere. There are home pages where people can go who don't use Google, but they amount to a test pattern on a TV." The Google people emphatically denied that they were actively pulling the plug on, or slowing down the connections of surfers who used other search engines. "When you are the largest beast in the forest, predatory competition no longer becomes necessary" said Google president, Sergey Brin. "Amen", said Bill Gates.
