21 Amazing Things You Didn't Know You Could Do With Google.

1. Open www.google.com click google Images and search for "Atari Breakout."

 

 

Google has yet to bring me a beer, but it does almost everything else I need it to..Knowledge is power. And Google is the most powerful search engine in the world. It even has a sense of humor! Have fun with these.


 

2. Set a timer (this also works with voice commands).

 


Test the google timer today!

 

3. Find out the distance between cities (and travel time).

 

 

I wanted to travel from Lagos to Abuja, got the distance


 

4. Search for "the answer to life the universe and everything"

 


Google has come up with a conclusion about life using mathematical calculations.


 

5. Convert currency. Want to find out how much you REALLY spent in dollars in that pub in London? Well, maybe when you feel better.

 

6. Searching for "google in 1998" gives you a retro version (without the flannel and grungy millennial angst).

 


 

7. Clicking the microphone icon in Google search will allow you to speak your searches and commands. Say, "make me a sandwich" and you might get sassed.

 

 

8. "Solve circle/triangle/rectangle/..." similarly solves Geometry problems...(WHAT DID I JUST SAY?)

 

 

 

9. "Graph for (math function)" shows the function plot...(NO CHEATING ON HOMEWORK)

 

 

10. Google Translate has a manual feature that allows you to draw characters and symbols.

 

 

11. "Songs by...." will give a list of popular songs by (almost) any artist.

 

 

12. "Books by..." will list popular books by an author.

 

 

13. Special days-search for holiday dates and get reminders on Google Now. No excuse for missing Mother's Day.

 

 

14. Wanna build stuff? Check out Build with Chrome. I KNOW RIGHT?!!

 

 

15. Need to calculate a tip? Just search "calculate tip!"

 

 

16. Searching for "zerg rush" creates a search page being eaten by 'O's. Click each O three times to kill it. GO AHEAD...WE'LL WAIT.

 

 

17. Make a search for "anagram" brings up..."nag a ram." (don't bother rams!)

 

 18. Google's playful spirit comes out when you ask it to "define anagram..."

 


19. Want to recursively run searches for recursion? Search for "recursion."

 


20. Searching for "tilt" or "askew", expect something to happen.
