Amusing Google Searches for Parents and Teens
Posted July 15, 2014, 2:00 pm by
Are you ever amused, if not horrified, by what auto-fills your search bar when you type something into Google? I recently read a blog post that featured Google drop-down search results. The post was a perfect, comedic representation of what people search for on Google, and also how people perceive certain subjects.
I was curious about what people searched for relating to teens, parents, and educators.
Here are some search results I found.
While these search results are, of course, arbitrary and location-dependent, it’s entertaining and interesting to see what Google recommended for my searches. Some search suggestions are rational and true: “Parents are the best teachers;” “Teachers are heroes;” “Travel is free.” I’m a little bit skeptical, though, that travel is “Fatal to prejudice bigotry and narrow-mindedness.”
This is a fun exercise to try with many different concepts and subjects. You could even find some thought-provoking quotes. Of course, don’t trust everything you read on the Internet—parents are “Annoying” in many cases, but I wouldn’t categorize them as “Gross.”
Have fun seeing what the Internet thinks about your searches!
