We have a sign on our church building that says ‘Jesus is the answer’, but I wonder if we unconsciously believe that ‘Google is the answer’?

I must confess, that if I want to find out anything about anything… where do I go first?

Google.

In fact, anything I may want to do online, I can do through Google.

Email? Gmail.
Advertising? Adwords.
Make money? AdSense.
Start a blog? Blogger.
Shop? Froogle.

The examples are endless (click here to see the full list of Google products).

It cannot be denied that Google has successfully infiltrated every aspect of our lives, and it’s almost as if we have become dependant on Google as our IT surrogate mother and cannot live without her.

Should we be concerned at how globally intrusive Google is becoming? Let’s face it, if your local terrorist network is frequently using Google’s free satellite imaging app. to accurately identify targets, then yes, you should be concerned.

Does anyone else think that taking photos of every street in the western world is a little obsessive (and creepy)?

Is there some sort of whacked out conspiracy happening right under our noses? Could Google be the affront for world domination? If I was an evil ‘take over the world’ kind of guy I would be taking Google very seriously. Check out the images below.

Indeed, the plot thickens.

(and just for the record… no, I don’t think Google is the Antichrist).
