What is discomgooglation? Discomgooglation is defined as "the feeling of distress or anxiety when unable to gain immediate information access". It is said that a growing number of Brits have suffered suffered increased stress when they were unable to get their on-line "hit", that is discomgooglation. Sounds horrible!

Do you suffer from discomgooglation? I think that I have been suffering discomgooglation for a long time. Everyday, I use google to get the information that I need. I also use gmail to receive and send mails, Youtube to watch some interesting videos and google earth map to look for the destinations. What about you?

I suffered from something similar long before the internet came along.
I am a relatively patient person but not when I need to know something, I need an answer quick. If I ask someone and they dont know I ask someone else, if they dont know I need to pursue it further. But whatever happens I HAVE to have that answer.

Yeah I know, I'm weird.

Jimmyb, we are very similar. Although I am Chinese, I seldom use Baidu because I can't find what I need. You see, Baidu specializes in Chinese search.

Discomgooglation and Yahooahooing do tend to get tedious at times as does Dishnetworkania but at least the web offers (IMO) a more honest and a greater variety of information than does tv news and their insistent coverage of McCain and Palin vs. Obama and Biden.

I don´t suffer from that. Anyway, most of information is not really needed and if I remember to check it when I get to use internet, good, but if not, never mind.

Although I just used Google to snap Lion on fingers because he did not know something.
(Well, I did not know it too before checking it, lol)
