Google - The Hungry Beast?

Though you may have been "googling" things for years, the word you were using was technically a slang, until it officially became an English noun (and a verb) found in the Oxford English Dictionary (OED). 

But why would you need your OED when Google can tell me I have spelt the word "psychaitrist" wrongly and the search will also land me with a list of the nearest psychiatrists in my locality within 0.17 seconds. 


I mean, let's face it, you are admitting things to your computer that you wouldn't otherwise admit to your doctor or your loved ones.


Should we be scared of the hungry beast?
