Google is the Internet
Apparently, Google has become synonymous with the Internet. Everyone panicked today because Google search and apps were down [0]. I got an email from a client during the outage asking what could be the cause of the "slow internet". Google really has become the Internet for most people.
Speaking of Google, I stopped using their services a while ago after they surreptitiously enabled web history on my account. I had previously opted-out of web history, and only noticed it when I was going through my account settings one day. If you, like me, kept a Gmail window open all the time and never logged out, all your web and search history was being collected. Nice.
