While it might be fashionable to hate on Google, the question "What did Google bring to my life" seems really odd. I can't believe I have to say this but search, and more importantly good/fast search, is to Google's credit. Typescript and VSCode all have, and will continue to have alternatives, but for a long time, Google was (some may argue it still is) the bleeding edge of search. Anyway, there might be a generational thing at play here, if so, I meant no condescension.

You're making assumptions. I listed facts.
Yeah, I'm gonna need to see some citation on how Typescript and VSCode improved life for humanity. Break out some of them facts you're talking about.
I specify "my life", not other's life, and it's a fact. Why bother then (i'm curious)?
You said it "improved human life" my dude. Everyone can scroll up and read.
Um no...

> At least it improved human life in serious ways (Typescript, VSCode,...).

You mean "fast bullshit ads" ? I mean "meaningful search results". They're different.
... Did you reply to the wrong individual?
You don't seem to be interested in a debate.
So you think that Google doesn't do fast search? OK.
