A Google search outage had users panicked around the world as their search queries returned “internal server errors,” forcing them to use DuckDuckGo or (shudder) Bing – or take to social media to complain.
Internet users worldwide found themselves plunged into unexpected darkness as their Google queries returned…nothing. Only a mysterious server error where once there had been answers.
Rushing to Twitter to see who else was suffering in this 21st century dark age, they found temporary solace in the fact that they were not alone - the outage appeared to be widespread, with no explanation available other than a promise that “engineers have been notified and are working to resolve the issue.”
What am I supposed to do when I need to search for something but google is down???? Have I become so dependent on google I don’t know HOw to obtain information anymore ???? What am I supposed to use now ???? A book!!!!???
