What's the last thing that google helped you with?

I used it last night after the lightning flickered everything and the motion lights would not shut off. A simple google told me to go to the breaker box and flip the switch that controls them...flip it off and on within a second and it resets them.

I regularly use Google on my phone when I can't remember someone's name, the name of a movie, need some facts for an argument, etc.

Last night I used it to figure out the beer of the week for pint night. It was Hofbrau Munchen Original.

I google everything. Last thing I googled was a list of the Presidents born in Ohio for the sheep league. Am I just supposed to know those?

I always remember Taft, both Harrisons, and Ulysses. Then Harding, Garfield and McKinley all have large high schools in NE Ohio. Hayes is the one I always forget.

I knew them all in 4th grade....I would get bored and stare at the poster in the room with all of them... ...they stopped at Reagan's 1st term.....don't know them all now but I could probably name 40+....just not in perfect order.

I work in IT so I use it constantly. I also use Google Now fairly often. Let's me know when there's traffic, the weather in my current location, etc.
