Mad at Google? Can you ever stop using it??

There is always the collateral damage while we submit ourselves to various service providers in the cyber space.

See the way we are being disturbed by unsolicted voice calls, messages and notification in our mobile phones. It consumes too much of our time, consumes energy and memory space.

The issue is that the whole business revolves around balancing of low cost service compensated with extranious revenues.   

To me Google is God, Divine and it is the Universe. It is Alladin's Genie . " Your wish my command" . You ask , you will get it. My quality of life improved after having having something called Google in my life. My information is all over the net. I am some on believer of personal Branding . It has helped me a lot. I have not faced any thing adverse in the last one decade of my google use. " GOOGLE KI JAI HO". When I think of Google, I remember the old saying , " A friend in need is friend in deed" and that's Google for me. Still not convinced, I will go a step further . 

I think I'm addicted to google ..

it is very user friendly and very much interactive.... so i think its better if google people dont even think of shutting it down..

and as of now what google has done is purely a business.. i didn found anything going wrong to my accounts..

and ofcourse who else will not do this ... provided they should not misuse our personnel information.//

selling it just for marketing purpose is still ok as we can stop those mails

If you want any detail to not be in public, dont bring it on internet because you have no control of how your information ( no matter what is going to be ) is processed.

Leaving google and adopting some other would be like taking your hand out of mouth of LION and putting it into TIGER's .

there is no one at present to provide the services the way google does, and unless that happens Google is your best friend ;) .

Anyway they are going to use the information for their business benefits. Businesses thrive when their customers / clients get something of value from them. And in turn theirs and the chain continues up to the final end user and some times vice versa. Hopefully any information for pure business purposes is not that much Bad. Google has fast becoming a part and parcel of every moment we spend on this earth.

Sujatha it 's better to expose your information than loosing job. i assure you 80% software engineer including me only survive b'cause of google. what will you do with your personal information if somebody wants it it will obtain by any means one or another..

I don't think it is possible. Google already is a giant source for information search & other related web services. Its rally very difficult to get away from it.

Feeling pressure from Facebook, which benefits from people’s willingness to share every minute detail of their life, ripe for advertisers to pick over, Google may be inclined to say, “Look, like Santa Claus, we know when these people are sleeping, we know when they’re awake, we know when they’ve been bad or good, so let’s make some money off that.”
