Nowadays, everyone relies on Google. Don’t know how to change a tire? Skip the car shop. Can’t remember that recipe for that one meal you made at that one place that one time? Ditch the cookbook. You don’t need either—you can ask the magic crystal ball that is Google.

Google has become more than just your above-average, billion-dollar search engine. People around the globe use it, web trotters of all ages rely on it, and we all drop it casually as a verb.

But we turn to it for more than just top tricks and how-to’s. People turn to good ol’ Google for advice on making major life decisions. Should you break up with your boyfriend? How do you start saving for retirement? Google tracks a million and one answers to our million and one questions.
