Google as a Medium

To begin with, I wanted to make sure I knew exactly what was meant by Google being a medium. So what did I do? I Googled medium to make sure I fully understood what the word meant. Google functions as a medium because a medium is the method of doing something. To understand this prompt, as well as every word I have ever questions the definition on, Google has always been the method of choice I use to find out what it means.

Also, that I even used the word 'Googled,' transforming a proper noun into a verb, shows that this is a medium, you can Google something. Going back 20 years, if you told someone you were going to Google something, they would look at you crazy. But today, this is a normal thing, almost everyone knows that you are doing if you tell them you Googled something.

Finally, Google is also a medium because Google can be the method of doing pretty much anything. Need directions? Google can help you. Need an image of cute puppies to cheer your roommate up after a bad day? Google again can help you. Need to purchase a house and want to find a good Realtor? Google will be helpful. Google is a medium to so many thing, without Google, most of us would be lost, literally and figuratively.
