Living Google Free

Joshua J. Romero's How I Learned to Live Google free was probably my least favorite of the educational narratives. I don't think there's very much education in it other than the word in the title and getting a bit used to using different tools. He doesn't have to find the alternate tools, he knows they exist, and he doesn't even have to learn very much about them since most sites are pretty intuitive nowadays. I expected him to at least come to some sort of eye opening conclusion, but most of the whole thing just seemed like he was complaining about how one company has the monopoly on quality services. The conclusion is just a rehashing of the concerns that lead into the whole ordeal, with the only addition being something along the lines of "it's not impossible to quit Google for good, but it's so convenient".
