Yeah I used to have those filters too. I dunno if my parents eventually just didn't feel like paying for those anymore or if they were annoyed by it themselves

Absolutely love the song called endgames

Oh I know that. But I was more saying that if everyone in the world should be required to learn the basics of coding regardless of if they hate computers and electronics, then it's kind of unfair when people aren't required to learn to do sports and forced to get a girlfriend.

Maths

I know some people who have a basic understanding of how computers work and they are interested in learning how to write programs for it. I am always glad to help these people get started. Sometimes they give up after a while, but some persist.

I don't feel like everyone has to be able code themselves, but at least know how it's done.

I think it has a lot to do with the name and the choices of the company. I associate Ask with its annoying toolbar that comes with free software. Same goes for babylon. (Babylon is just pure evil with a forced userbase.) Google annoys you with their chrome browser from time to time, but it's actually a good browser, so just download it Yahoo's front page is too convoluted. Most people like the clean look of the google search front-page. I dunno, but google just never annoyed me enough to switch. That's about it.

I have a book about the internet that dates back to the time before google. It has a list of interesting websites in the back. Remember that every geocities page had a "links" page? That's how the early internet worked: you'd include large lists of websites you find interesting in your website/book.

This book came out in 1992. The google experiment started 4 years later and did not get popular until much later.

Take a chance, but put it inside a fireproof container whilst charging if you're worried about explosions. I have never heard about this phenomenon though.
