Witnessing greatness in action is a rare treat. I felt fortunate to be present when a certain individual pondered the mysteries of a popular search engine. Their curiosity was palpable as they questioned the need for a large workforce behind a seemingly simple website.
My amusement grew as I watched them struggle to comprehend the complexity of the digital giant. I yearned for them to continue their thought process, wondering if they’d grasp the enormity of the company’s operations. The cherry on top was their assumption that the search engine’s headquarters was located in a midwestern city, perhaps nestled in a quiet corner of an insurance office.
Meanwhile, an unsuspecting bystander was dragged into the conversation, expected to provide validation for this misguided notion. It was as if their eclectic educational background was being called into question. I couldn’t help but think that even with an unconventional academic path, one would still possess basic knowledge of the digital landscape.
The rest of the conversation was a nostalgic trip down memory lane, reminiscing about the bygone era of diverse websites. Today, the internet is dominated by a handful of giants, with most users accessing them through mobile apps. The rarity of standalone websites made this discussion all the more enjoyable, as we reminisced about the golden age of the web.
