  • Here Is The Most Searched For ‘How To’ Question On Google

    It’s one of my most favourite games to play when presented with Google’s homepage.

    Start typing something with an end goal in mind – like “Where can I buy a MacBook Pro in Cape Town?” – and watch as Google attempts to predict what you’re going to write each step of the way:

    Yeah, things got a little dark there.

    But while those predictions are location-based, and only give you the four most common searches, Google recently released some global information on one particular search, reports The Telegraph:

    “Recently, we noticed that ‘how to…’ searches have increased by more than 140% since 2004, and much of that search interest is directed towards how to ‘fix’ things—whether it’s a lightbulb, window, washing machine, or even the toilet,” Google’s data editor Simon Rogers explained.

    With that, they provided the top 20 “how to” searches – showing just how difficult adult life has become:

    1. how to tie a tie
    2. how to kiss
    3. how to get pregnant
    4. how to lose weight
    5. how to draw
    6. how to make money
    7. how to make pancakes
    8. how to write a cover letter
    9. how to make french toast
    10. how to lose belly fat

    Schoolboys across the country chuckle to themselves.

    Wondering the answer to my original question about that MacBook Pro? Digicape, duh.
