When the internet was completely booming and Google was taking over the search engine world, I asked my Doctor if he was afraid that people were going to start getting their medical advice from Google.

He basically said, "I'm not worried yet. But I would never recommend someone do that. If you have health insurance, that's what you pay for, not for Google to tell you you're just fine, you really don't have cancer."

Thinking about a search engine telling me I don't have cancer was enough to scare the bejesus out me that I swung in the completely opposite direction and for several years became a hypochondriac.

This was also fodder for a lot of stand up comedians. "Google told me I either have the flu, or Ebola, it could go either way, I don't know."
