why is google dumb? or a more specific question, when i search for anything that takes intelligence (it matters not the search engine), i get gobbledygook in return for my inquiry?
for example, richard dreyfuss & i use our hands & arms when speaking. i couldn't remember the term for this, so i googled, "what is the term for talking with one's hands?" in return i received pages of "why do we talk with our hands?," "the science behind talking with our hands?," & many other similar suggestions.
i found it was faster to back to the episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, with mr. dreyfuss as a guest, on Hulu, turn on the closed captioning (praying that they got the word correct), & find the answer that way. There it was, much to my surprise & relief.
i am frustrated that the algorithm for finding things isn't as sophisticated as it was in the 1980s & well into the 2000s. i am disappointed that folks don't need to learn to communicate &/or expand their minds any longer. it seems that everything in america is so dumbed-down that those of us w/above average & higher intelligence have to rummage through rubbish to maybe/or not get sophisticated answers.
i use the oxford dictionary because they don't just accept words willy-nilly, & i use the oxford comma when i write (you know, for when you would actually pause when speaking aloud to tell the reader that it's not, absolutely not, just a babbling rant). grrr!
i wish you all peace, love, & joy as i commiserate by consuming an entire pound of sugar snap peas & a marathon of jimmy fallon & saturday night live. at least they can hold my attention & are clever AND funny. GAWD! there is a reason that OMNICIDE (which my laptop tells me is the wrong way to spell "homicide"-- not the word i want, folks!--INFURIATING! trust me when i say "omnicide").is my favorite word this week. grrrrrrrrrr!!!! that is all. . . till something else happens.
