  • 151. Google Questions

    31/10/2013 Duration: 55min

    Luke answers some common auto-completed questions from Google. Hi listeners. Do you know what "Google auto-complete" is? You know when you start to google something, like maybe 'why is Luke's English Podcast so awesome?' and when you type 'why is', Google completes your question with lots of options? Those options are 'auto-completes'. It's when Google predicts your search based on frequently asked searches. Try typing "why is" into Google. It will give you some options, like "why is the sky blue?" Some auto-completes are quite fascinating, because they make you think "why are people asking these crazy questions?" or "that's a good question - what's the answer?" Episode page: https://teacherluke.co.uk/2013/10/25/151-google-questions/  Some Google auto-completes are really deep, if you take the time to consider them. Have a look at this graphic, which was produced by xkcd http://xkcd.com/1256/  It is a montage of auto-completed questions from Google. I also posted the image on Facebook recently, herehttps://ww
