evolution

my iPod touch battery has taken to draining alarmingly quickly. HOM asks me to look up warranty information. i google the problem instead and stumble upon a community of disgruntled iPod touch owners in the same situation hashing over possible solutions.

these days googling a topic follows naturally upon any query. what's the traffic like? what is the secret recipe for roast pork with crackling? what is correct dress for a funeral? short cuts to html programming? why do my brakes squeal? why does the garage door not remain shut? how do i prune a rose bush? caulk a bathroom?

we know a convenience has arrived when the proper noun becomes generic becomes a verb. as when Google becomes google becomes to google.
