Is Google God?


I always think Google is just like the god for any programmer. Today I mentioned same to one of my colleague and she was thinking otherwise. There happened to be a long discussion between us.

As my usual habit I googled for “Google is God” and surprising we were not the first to argue on this. I found many interesting articles right from comparing Google with god giving reasons to curses for comparing Google with god.

I liked the most is The Church of Google . The Church of Google lists 9 proofs that Google is God, among the proofs include Google is all-knowing, Google is everywhere at once, Google answers prayers, Google is potentially immortal, Google is infinite, Google remembers all, Google can “do no evil”, Google is searched more than any other god terms and abundant evidences of Google’s existence. They even have forum for discussion with almost more than 3.5K users. You must read their reasons for justification :)

Other comparions I found elsewhere are - It sees everything (Google Earth). It knows everything (Google Search). It has access to your medical records (Google Health) It can punish you ( It can air your most embarrassing moment on YouTube). It knows what`s stored in your computer
(Google Desktop). It speaks every language in the world (Google Translation Services). It knows who you correspond with (Gmail). It shows you the path (Google Map).

My own reason is very simple. Whenever I need any help or directions I just google it and always gets answer from this almighty Google. Let it be related to coding, friends info, communities information, shops, health related. Even while reading my notes or any printed papers and not able to find required infomration, I always dream “what if I would have search feature like Google over here to help”. Same happens whenever I forget where are keys, remote, pen etc. :)

Surprisingly “Google” is serached more than any god terms like “Jesus”, “Allah”,”Islam” or “Buddhism”. Don’t believe? See here

This is now too much. I know you are good programmer. but don’t involved in things where you can’t see other than that application. Dear this is php dunia… now find even something other options in php as well. I have seen that you haven’t written anything about template engines. There are even more features created by php5.0 and php 6.0 is on away.

Please i would like if you write down something more abt php6.0
