"I Googled him, and it came up 'No results found.' So clearly, he is not a person."
When you meet a new person do you:
A) Google them.
B) Look them up on Facebook.
C) None of the above.
If you answered C, I would assume you are either old, or computer illiterate.
What are the benefits of NOT googling someone, and learning about them through actual contact and conversation? Like how they did it in the 'good ole days' and got to know someone by asking them questions about themselves.
I watched a show in which two people who met agreed to not search each other online before the date. One of them ended up breaking the agreement, and everything he found out about the girl put him off so much so that he couldn't talk to her normally.
The quote above is from a TV show. And while it is a funny sentiment, it is a sad truth about our society.
It is both a major benefit and a major hindrance, the way we as a society put our trust in the internet, believe what we read and judge people based on that.
