Addicted to Google?

This is a serious question. Are we addicted to Google and all it's services? I can answer that with one word: Yes. I am absolutely addicted to Google. Every time I open my internet browser (which happens to be Chrome), I go to Google or I just search in the web browser bar. I constantly use Google maps and YouTube in my everyday life. I use YouTube for various computer tutorials and Google maps to find my way around the town.

I believe that Google is extremely powerful however, they don't abuse that power. For the most part, Google makes their money through advertising so they can keep their Gmail, YouTube, Maps, BlogSpot, etc. free. I am dependent on my Google services whether it is checking my mail, browsing the web, or doing my homework for school (Blogger).

The only thing that worries me is the fact that Google keeps all of your personal information. Google could be selling our personal information to various companies on the net so they can send us spam and what not.
