Google


In the game of Monopoly when I recieve a "Get out of jail freen card" I tend to save them.  I like to think there will always be a moment that is more necessary than the current one.  Then in some games I never even end up using the card, or I end up selling it for some extra cash, in hopes of winning the game.  The latest question I was asked brought up the same type of reaction, " If I could "Google" any question in in the world and get the answer, what question would you ask and why?"


My years of knowledge are limited, and I'm unsure of my futures goals.  The vast questions that Google can already answer are overwhelming.  Which makes me wonder what a truely brilliant question to ask would be.  This seems like one of the times where you would want to ponder the questions for days, maybe even wait until an unexplained moment occures or even sell it, and make millions.  Yet, if I were to pick, I might want to pick an unexplained occurance that has happened in  the world. A moment that google couldn't already explain. Or maybe I'd pick somethingand figure out how to cure cancer, or aids or maybe even how to get world peace.  The possibilities are endless.  I could also be greedy and ask a question that only pertaines to me, for instance, what does my future look like?  What is the best way for me to get famous? What is the answers to the ACT?  The possibilities are unlimited, yet only one question can be asked. So which to pick.. The answer is, unknown. At this point in my life, I don't know which route to go, what question to ask.  Any of these questions would change the person I am, define me in a different way.  That's not what I want, I want to survive off of who I am today, and what I have accomplished by myself.  This is a Monopoly moment, where I will wait for the necessary moment.  Maybe later on I would sell or maybe I'll never use it, who knows.  Whatever my decision is, to me it will be right.

  1. I love your analogy to the Monopoly "get out of jail free" card. It is perfect! I think that given the opportuity to discover the mysteries of the world that most people would choose not to find them out. I think that I would rather not know them and live my life happily with the mysterious unknown.
