Whoever controls the media, controls the mind - Jim Morrison
What really grinds my gear lately is GOOGLE. Google has been behaving so annoying these days, has it not? I know that most people would go to Google for help. I do that myself too. Am I complaining about that? No, I am not. Google is very informative and helpful and I am thankful for that. Is it a problem that Google has a lot of apps and is everywhere? Well, that is not my main problem here. My problem is, the way Google force internet user to use them. The way they behaving so arrogantly and so very powerful.
Even charming Mr. Morrison also believe that "whoever controls the media, controls the mind" and guess what? Google is sooooooo trying to control the media. It was last year, or probably last two year *since it is a new year* when I tried to log in into my Youtube account I was rather confused because of the new setting. The new setting did not allow me to log in using my Yahoo email account, but I had to have Gmail or GOOGLE MAIL account in order to be able to log in. I was force at that exact time to make a Gmail account.
Some people might say that it is possible to still use Yahoo account or that Google did not force the user to do that but just suggesting that we should log in using Gmail account or whatever! The fact is that I was confused, I followed the instruction in which I ended up having a new Gmail account. I did READ the instruction, and follow them CAREFULLY. And at that moment, I did not mind having to make a new account. I did not, really.
But last year, Google stated to acting up again. It was when they FORCE Youtubers to connect their Youtube account with Google+ and whatever they post in Youtube will also appear in Google+. There was quite a fuss about it. A lot of people got mad because of this new setting, some people complained but there were also people who did not even care about it, and I was one of them. I like surfing on Youtube, but if being a Youtuber means that I have to be active, post comment and videos regularly, then I am not a Youtuber, I am just a Youtube user. Because I love watching videos in Youtube and read the comment, but I post no videos nor comment. I was simply an observer.
I also have nothing against Google+. I don't use them, simply because I feel I have enough social media accounts already. And since I don't really have that much friend using this app I just ignore it. I do have an account, but I didn't make it deliberately. I think, when you have a Google account, you will automatically have a Google+ account as well, *Oh the force
I believe this thing between Youtube and Google+ is a trick used by Google to make people use this app more. But as I said before. I don't care about that. As long as I can still watch Youtube Videos then it is fine. That's that. But somehow, the rebellious side of me just want to break loose from all of this Google thing. Sometimes I feel like "What if I don't want to change my email? what if I don't want to connect it to Google+, you mad, pussy?" The worst is that Google answers it as if it says No, I am not mad, but if you don't do that, you just won't get the access to EVERYTHING on the internet" Dafuq, rite? so annoying!
So, be prepare and aware, cat is not the only thing that wants to take over the world, because Google is also trying to do the same. It is everywhere, in your phone, android device, and even in your Firefox browser, in which it appears to suggest that you should download Google Chrome. Because it is faster, easier and blah, blah, blah! Google is controlling the Internet = controlling the media = controlling our mind *wow, it escalated quickly* Just beware, don't leat it get the best of you. Hhaha!!
