I don't know about you, but there is something a tad sinister about the all encompassing, Facebook/Twitter phenomenon. And now that Google, ('Google it') has become a verb,
"Well, I don't know. Where are my slippers and where did you put my pipe?" Squawked the Luddite.
One wonders has this, Google becoming a verb, come about through human action, those uppity young Harvard graduates, too clever by half, or has it come about through human design.
Answers on a postcard.
The fact that 'Google' has become a verb is obviously the result of human action, but it is not the result of human design - those pesky, preppy Harvard crew.. No one decided, or planned, that "google" would be a verb. It came about by human 'use' (a swelling conscensus) not human 'design', original intention.
