Yeah there's a pretty fundamental conflict of interest in an advertising company controlling most of the world's browsers.
Funny how it started out as a search tool. It used to be handy, even better than Yahoo! LOL
From the 1998 paper titled "The Anatomy of a Large-Scale Hypertextual Web Search Engine" by Sergey Brin and Lawrence Page:
Yeah, that's why literacy is so important now. Not just literacy, but high levels of literacy, the kind that require a high level of research ability. Otherwise, we have the internet of today, and it will not stop until people start putting value on literacy and critical thinking skills. Today's average user is just not competent enough to sift through all the trash and find the important stuff. That high school English class that forced you to write a research paper? Didn't prepare you enough. That high school English class needed to do better. Turn you into a research machine.
