I came to realize recently that Google products and services had a tremendous impact on my daily life in so many levels from personal to work use resulting in me pondering a bit about a life without Google. Even one of the fonts of this website that you’re viewing now – “Lato“, is hosted from Google. No doubt, I am very dependent on Google, but so many people are as well whether it involves using Google Maps for navigation or Gmail/Hangouts/Plus for communication — whether this is sad/pathetic or that Google has significantly contributed to the development of mankind a can be debated endlessly; I will not go into the direction of debate, but just list the products and services I use regularly from Google
