Honest question: what did people do before Google?

If you didn't know how to to do something, how would you figure it out? I guess that's what the boomers mean when they say "nobody talks to each other anymore." It's true. We just ask Google!

This might not be something to admit, but I basically learned how to adult thanks to Google and Youtube. For me, technology has been the best resource to have when learning how to live life independently. I know most people in my generation would agree with me. For one, it saves time not having to go through the process of trial and error. Also, it saves us money because we don't have to fix the mistakes we would have made if we had to go through that process.

With that being said, that got me thinking. What exactly are people asking Google how to do? Everybody's different, right? We all have different experiences. They can't be googling the same exact questions as me. After checking to see what everybody's curious about, I can confirm they in fact are NOT asking Google what I am.

Believe it or not, the number one "how to" search query has been "how to tie a tie" for quite a few years now. That still holds true today according to multiple sources. That's not super weird, though. What is, however, is all the questions about certain ✨ physical ✨ activities.

Some of the most common "how to" questions people ask Google are:

1.) How to have sex

My gut tells me there's some subtext to that last one. By video, I'm thinking of one not so innocent in nature. Maybe that's just my dirty mind. Still...
