Is there life without Google?

When everyone went crazy with Murakami, I didn’t read him out of harm, when everyone falls down from Google’s words, I don’t use his services, all friends tell me that I’m behind the times and (paraphrasing a bit) “Soon nothing will happen , no theaters, no movies, one Google. ” The company, of course, is excellent, they have succeeded everywhere, they have done a lot of excellent things, but the aggression with which they do not cause me to get there except rejection ... I do not have a Google account, there is no participation in their services, and I feel pretty good.

It turns out you can live without Google. Search ... I use Yandex, quite satisfied, I do not remember the case that I turned to alternative search engines. Money ... Yandex.Money and WM is enough, and I’m unlikely to use the Google alternative. Mail ... There are mailboxes on Rambler and Yandex, but real workers on their own domains, excellent fast available all over the world. Maps ... Well, I don’t have to surf the space images, there is no use for me. Maps Rambler and Yandex is enough, the search for them is excellent. Bar ... Very convenient Bar in Yandex, with a bunch of various services, rambler or Mailovsky did not try. Online services for text and table editors are not yet sufficient for MS Office on the desktop and OpenOffice on the laptop. Therefore, I do not need Google. What can he give me such that I need like air and there are no intelligible alternatives? Nothing…

Yes, marketing at Google is high, it is he who creates an environment that itself forces to recruit followers. Maybe all the same to help their activity to Russian companies, and not to develop the Western market. It is necessary to help the flies, the elephants will take care of themselves.
