2. LETS GOOGLE IT!
Nowadays internet has become a synonym for
Google. People have become over dependent on it.
There are many disadvantages in Google products which
the people don't seem to comprehend. They are
ignorant of other useful and effective products that can
be used in the place of Google products. This
presentation is a take on alternative approach on
browsing, searching, maps, mail, blogging, photo
sharing, cloud storage etc. that the people mostly go
with the Google products. It also suggests and proposes
the different approaches that lie dormant and brings to
the view of other alternative sites and applications that
can effectively replace Google.
