Dear fellow Yoyos:
A recent TV ad is strongly promoting the service of Hi-page, in which a young woman makes up excuses in trying to draw a smart guy’s attention to come her rescue. No doubt, the slogan “let your fingers do the walking” by a phone company applies to computer application too, only to use your finger to strike the keyboard instead of walking around a telephone directory. Hi-page is just one of the search engines that are commonly used to find information on the Internet. However, Internet users may be more familiar with Google. Can you survive on the Internet without Google or the likes?
I'm very honored to be your host on next Wednesday evening, June 23. Hopefully you'd like the subject to be discussed.
Be there, or be square! Have a lot of fun!
Wayne

Questions for discussion:
Q1: How important is Google to you? What do you do with Google other than googling?
Q2: Google is such a smart invention. Can you give another example of tech-savvy?
Q3: How often do you google? Do you have some googling tips to be shared with fellow Yoyos? Say, how to query with bizarre key words? Would you recommend other search engines?
Q4: How do you define a cultural phenomenon? What other cultural phenomena have you observed? How do they affect you and/or your life?
Please try to use the words/phrases on the list as much as you can.
