Google Husband

Google is great. It's saved me often. When I need to know something. Questions, tech stuff, medical info etc. A wealth of support.

But I find myself getting a little bit dependent.

I've got two printers off freecycle since our crappy one decided it could no longer take the pain of printing and just fucked around with the idea endlessly. It's great, one is quite fancy, but it's French, I think, and I've only just noticed it has a 3 pin plug and I have no adaptor.

And the other one looks like it will do ok, but there's no ink in it. And it's 10.30 at night. So I think my printing plans are sunk.

I want to go to google and have it download some ink into the Epson. Or tell me where my other adaptor is and that it will magically be the right voltage for the HP. Why can't it do that? I need it to solve my problems, and right now, I need more that information.

Perhaps what I need is Google Husband. DIY and tech solutions, decisions made for you. It could catch on.

What's the difference between a husband and a slave?

Slaves have more exciting sex lives.

No no, Google Slave is aseperate entity, I think, it wasn't meant to be the same thing.

Google Husband is just meant to do all the wonderful things a husband does when you don't have one there to do them for you. I don't think that's sexist, just ... handy, and possibly complimentary to husbands and their abilities.

Jo you were right. I wanted a google slave because my google husband would surely talk back and spend too much time on his Nintendo.
