The first stop that people make when they are trying to find answers to the biggest questions in their heads is Google Search. According to a survey conducted by Digital Third Coast, 55% of people admitted to asking Google at least ten questions on a daily basis. 20% stated that they wouldn’t be able to last a single day if they lost access to Google, and 96% turn to the search engine whenever they need any kind of definitive answer.
With all of that having been said and now out of the way, it is important to note that major philosophical questions are quite common among users that head to Google to find the answers. Digital Third Coast revealed what some of the biggest questions are because of the fact that this is the sort of thing that could potentially end up shedding some light on how useful Google can be.
The biggest question that was asked by far had to do with ascertaining why the sky appears blue to the human eye. Following this, countless users tried to figure out what their dreams mean with Google Search, and questions revolving around the meaning of life came in third place.
The fourth most asked question had less of a philosophical slant to it, since it involved people asking why they feel so tired all of the time. There are a number of biological and environmental factors that can lead to individuals constantly feeling tired, so Google clearly isn’t restricted in terms of the queries that it receives with all things having been considered and taken into account.
In spite of the fact that this is the case, the fifth most asked question returned to the realm of philosophy. This question was “Who am I?”, and while it might seem like it would have an obvious answer, you would be surprised at just how existential this line of inquiry can end up becoming.
At number six was the question “What is love”. Love is an important factor in most people’s lives, so it makes sense that people would want to use Google to figure out what it is actually supposed to entail. Following this was the somewhat humorous question of whether or not a hotdog is a sandwich.
Most discussions surrounding this question are jocular in nature, but it does reveal the intricacies of human speech and ideas. The classic question of whether the chicken came first or the egg came in eighth place, followed by the rather vague “What should I do”. Many are clearly trying to find a purpose in life, and they hope that Google can help them figure out the right path for themselves.
