Here at the ES office we spend hours slaving away over steaming Vic20 keyboards and ZXSpectrum consoles, so we were excited to learn of a new tool that may make our lives easier. Those of you on the bleeding edge of technology may have heard of a small, family run ‘web-site’ called Google. Apparently this search engine promises to find out shit for you when you can’t be bothered to read a book.
Yesterday the whole bloody thing stopped working for a bit see, and revealed the terrible dependence the world has on this thing- no gmail, no analytics, not even the ill-fated one with the catalogue pages. Thousands of emails went unsent, and a whole bunch of students couldn’t use scholar to cheat on their dissertations.
Happily, ES receives its news from a network of jungle drums.
