The internet has massively changed since when I first used it in 98. It's fucking retarded now.
shit, I remember the days when google was a search engine and not a propaganda tool.
The personal home pages or websites people made using web hosting services like Geosites, Angelfire, etc were mostly a fad of the 90s, and most are offline now. So most of the internet today is commercial web sites, social media, wikipedia, scientific papers, and maybe some blogs. And a lot of this is fake or censored by Google or by the hosts.
Google filters the results to show what is most relevant to your location, or anything else it knows about you (based on the whole profile it build of you about your interests, connections, etc.)
When you enter the URL as https://www.google.com/search?q=pizza&start=1234 (start is the argument that gets increased when you go to next results page), it openly says "Sorry, Google does not serve more than 1000 results for any query.")
It seems that the "About 1.060.000.000 results (0,65 seconds)" is mostly a marketing bluff to give the impression that there are very many results, and Google is very good at finding them. It may mostly be an inside joke at this point. Or at best, a rough statistical estimate of how many pages there may in total be containing the query.
Even if google knows that many pages containing the word "pizza", it would be computationally almost impossible to list and sort them all that fast.
Most interesting, when you google something (don't use google) it says something like a billion search results, but when looking closer (at 6:01) it only has a couple of hundred results. I've tested this myself with simple frases, it baffled my mind! Try it yourself.
There is also a part 1
Don't use google.
As more and more people switch to phones, and apps, it is only going to get worse, that be my prediction. Ones the government started handing out free phones, it is to control the narrative, make sure you use the pre-installed applications on it. Obama phone I think it is called, do not know to much about this project though.
Someone posted here about an engineering teacher having to show her students how to create a folder to put their work in. All they knew was phone apps.
If these are the next generation of engineers, expect more things to happen like Galloping Gertie
Interesting read, thanks.
Holey sh*t, my dude. I just watched both of these videos on Youtube, and now I'm seeing them posted on here.
