Response to: Glut of Google can give you a vitural fever

This article poses the new issue of "cyberchondria." This is a condition where a person with a head ache convinces themselves through individual web research that they have a brain tumor. Due to the fact that people consult to search engines as some kind of oracle it is no surprise to me. This article does a great job pointing to the simple fact that search engines are simply retrieval instruments, not qualified objective medical doctors.As Americans we want to know everything at the push of a button, unfortunately that accommodation comes at a high price. That price as become our sanity, or lack there of. Although the Internet is a great tool and helps with millions of problems, I believe one would do themselves a disservice if he or she diagnosed themselves with a medical condition. The technology is not objective enough to handle such a sensitive matter.
