Hey there curious folks of the internet!
-
And welcome to What If where we try to figure out the impossible!
-
And today's question is what if Google went down for a day?
-
What if you entered a search and hit enter and this shows up!
-
This has happened before, once in 2009 and then again in 2013.
-
In 2013 every Google service went down for a brief amount of time including Google search
-
Gmail and of course YouTube.
-
How brief?
-
Well just 5 minutes.
-
What was the impact?
-
40% of the internet traffic went down.
-
40%!
-
The revenue loss?
-
MORE THAN HALF A MILLION DOLLARS!
-
that's a couple of Ferraris by the way.
-
40%?
-
Is that how much we rely on Google that a 5 minute outage could cause a 40 percent decrease?
-
Well, yeah.
-
Gmail and Google chrome is actively being used by over 1 billion people.
-
The world population is 7 million.
-
That means.. wait wait a second, the world's population is I am sorry 7 billion old
-
habit.
-
Also 1.4 billion people use android which of course is another Google product.
-
You want to go somewhere new?
-
You use Google maps.
-
Not enough storage?
-
You have Google drive and yeah that thing that looked a lot like Facebook what is it
-
called yeah G+ well it also has users.
-
Ahem (I am one of them) and yeah YouTube?
-
Well, 300 hundred hours of videos are uploaded to YouTube every minute.
-
And 3.2 billion hours of videos are watched each month.
-
That's the time it took after the big bang for an electron to orbit around protons and
-
neutrons to form an atom.
-
A little scary right how?
-
Perfect for a dystopian novel I might say.
-
Next time you open your android phone to open Google chrome and use Google search to go
-
to YouTube ( you lazy person) remember you used a Google product to open a Google tool
-
to open a Google page and then go to a Google service.
-
So now imagine what if this whole system, every single Google service goes down for
-
a full day?
-
Utter Chaos.
-
Most of us use Google as our homepage and if stops working the first logical conclusion
-
will be that our internet connection is the one at fault.
-
But after a few minutes of disbelief will lead us to the fact that Google is in fact
-
not working and nor are Gmail and YouTube.
-
And the biggest problem? you won't be able to Google what happened to Google.
-
Your Facebook news feed will be full of images of the error screen with words like omg and
-
Armageddon being used simultaneously #googleisdown would be the next big trend
-
on twitter Android as well as most iPhone users will
-
be stranded on the roads as they won't have Google maps to assist them
-
People would be lost and unable to find the best pizza place just around the corner that
-
they pass by every day.
-
Everyone would be in search of an alternate search engine.
-
And Bing and yahoo will get traffic such as theirs servers never saw before and they might
-
even crash due to the huge splurge And then from out of the depths a
-
long forgotten name will echo.
-
DuckDuckGo.
-
DuckDuckGo is a search engine that doesn't track you and filter your search by using
-
your browser history.
-
Google does that by the way.
-
It's also quite a useful search engine and best for people who want privacy with their
-
data.
-
Duck duck go will also be trending and would steal much of the traffic and if Bing and
-
Yahoo had crashed they would be back online.
-
Without important google services specially Gmail Drive and of course google search for
-
a day the productivity across the whole world will drop by a huge margin. And the revenue
-
loss?
-
If 5 minutes made them lose half a million in 2013 than a day will cost them more than
-
1.5 billion dollars!
-
And what about other companies throughout the world that use services owned by Google?
-
Among all this fiasco and pandemonium Internet life in North Korea will remain largely unaffected.
-
He doesn't look happy And Buzz Feed will probably post some new
-
articles like "Google went down for a full day, you wont believe what happened next" and "Top
-
10 things you should do the next time Google goes down" . And yeah how can we forget the
-
memes?
-
So did you knew about duck duck go?
-
Did you ever even imagine what would happen if Google just stopped working?
