Important Personal Question

You have an important personal question you'd like answered. Explain the procedure for getting your question answered and why this method appeals to you (you don't need to get specific, but let's assume the answer does not require specific expert knowledge, as from a doctor).

Whenever I have an important personal question, I usually turn to Google. Google is such a wide spread tool now. For instance, in social situations, if someone asks a question like, "How do I get to James Madison University?" If someone didn't know, they would simply say "Google it!" Google has now taken the shape as a verb because it's being used daily by its consumers. Especially now that Google has introduced Google Instant, it's so fast getting the answers you're looking for. You type in a couple words, if that, and answers start popping up! However, if I ever have a medical question, I always use Webmd. Webmd is usually more accurate than Google when it comes to symptoms I'd be feeling. Asking questions on the Internet appeals to me because it's just so easy. The Internet has shaped how consumers get information. We don't have to call up James Madison University for directions or call or visit the doctor simply to distinguish if you have a cold or the flu. Now, we just sit down in front of our computer and enjoy the easy accessibility of the Internet world.
