What am i doing on the Internet

Sometime Google is so good that it just astounds me on the various statistics that they are giving you. It also instills fear on the amount of stuff that they tracking about you and they can know a person better out of his activities on the internet which is clearly some privacy issue but Google is really good on protecting your privacy, that was apparent when they fought the US federals on the release of search history.

After I joined this MS IT in University of Liverpool I am now more on the internet than a year back. Unfortunately Google are collecting your search history for the past 15 months maybe so I don’t have statistics to give you but I am sure I was not surfing so much.

This is how my trends are looking according to Google Trends. [To Access this you need a Google account and should have enabled search statistics collection.]

I have been searching like crazy for the past one year.

If you see there I have been away from my course during February and did not have much access to the Internet. Also I Started my MS IT in October last year and you see a spike from that month on search activity. No ideas why I have a spike in July, May was in India and did not have any internet access. J

 

Over the last week this is how it looks –

I have been banging away on the internet for all of last week trying to find materials for my various assignments and projects. Tuesday was the day I came back to London and had a whole lot of stuff to complete so was running against time and using the search capabilities a lot.

Over the past 24 Hours this is how the whole thing is looking.

I usually work late into the night so you will see that there are search activities in the wee hours as well.

See the amount of statistics that are being collected it makes me feel faint J
