Google used to be very plain and simple, all you had to do was input some words that would make a question and you would get an answer, it usually would take no longer than a minute to find a result that does the job. Googling, what an interesting word. The technology nowadays enables us to search from our phones, using our voice and in return receiving a prompt answer – also by voice.

Who would’ve thought that in just a couple of years we will be able to use our voice to find things instantly.
