2004 most searched words in Google.

category international | sci-tech | other press author Thursday December 30, 2004 20:46author by i mac d. Report this post to the editors

forget Shakespeare it's Britney Speare now.

As you know putting a "word" through "goo" is how most people enter the cybernetic matrix.
Thanks to the fine minds of CERN we have had the internet for years now, and millions oh yes millions of people use it everyday.
Most just use it a little bit. Many people upload thier photos, or download music, many more pay their mortgage and food bills by adding to the code.
Some people abuse it, that really has to be said.

Very few people understand it.

I'd wager a guess that less than 1000 people on this planet understand it.
But i'd probably be wrong.

the most searched words in "tech" (the people who did degrees or other 3rd level courses to learn how to write code, programs or mid user system thingys)
were-
# . wallpaper
# 2. kazaa
# 3. mp3
# 4. spybot
# 5. linux

wallpaper is the picture you see on your monitor this is made of upwards of 299,999 different elements which flash at you upwards of 130 times a second.
You approximate what you see, which is why Blunkett was so useful, so they thought.

kazaa is where most people go to download songs and advertising and cookies.

mp3 is the term for what most people use to get bigger than usual files to their "computer" and they use almost 70% of those files to listen to music they like.

spybot is a thingy that worms its way around the internet all the time checking what is there and making a little note of it and just runs around all the time, they're very useful for search engines.

linux is a free operating system which is faster and more efficient than microsoft and more secure.

http://www.linuxworld.com/story/47633.htm

The most searched words in 2004 were the same as 2003 "britney speare" a "sex symbol" of US origin.
the 2nd most popular term was "Paris Hilton" why?
and the third was "Harry Potter" a mythical graduate of a wonderful education establishment who's charming stories really are just as wholesome mom and cherry pie as Britney but with a little less gyrating leather jeans and pummeling the motorbike.

Thereafter each country searched for different things.
In spain they searched for "news category"-
1. real madrid
2. alejandro sanz
3. royal wedding
4. iraq
5. ETA
6. ronaldinho (the greatest footballer in the world)
7. madrid attack March 11.
8. the house of your dreams. a TV program.
9. rajoy (a galician - leader of the PP)
10. princesa letizia

Beyond that most "internauts" which is the vulgar term for end users of he "internet" (the people who sit in front of their computer screens and type away giving and receiving information which is really a lot more than they will ever understand) were male.
And they wanted to meet a woman.
preferably blonde.
and preferably single, loving, caring and giving, pneumatic (a term liked by Aldous huxley) on the pill and quite naturally free of HIV or any unpleasant itches who would understand them and be available for a shag at short notice.

Thus is Humanity.
..... or is it?

Nope. Women searched for, but didn't really find, the stars of Matrix and Troy and many looked for John Kerry (the Lurch of the Adams family)

The most popular luxury good searched was
Louis Vitton (which just goes to show that the "internauts" really want to travel in style).

c/F google "google zeitgeist" for your state domain server records or goto The world's largest particle physics laboratory... where the web was born!
golly gosh in switzerland and learn something.

author by o brienpublication date Fri Dec 31, 2004 18:23author address author phone Report this post to the editors

from now on every time you google be it for the corrs or the cranberries or whoever is "in" now, take the time to type -
Jonathan Swift.
James Joyce.
Shakespeare.
Sean O Casey.
Cervantes.
tell all your mates to do the same, who knows it might just change some statistics and resulting social planning somewhere.
try typing in "peace and love" (i get to a norwegian site) thing is I suspect that whoever understands the internet gets mighty bad headaches with all the dreary unhappy stuff going in all the time...
