Kicking Google out of my life, Part 8: Will I ever go back?
It's now been over two months since I began my journey to eradicate all traces of Google from my life. And one full month since I achieved that goal and began living fully Google-free. Actually, a few days over a month. I had one or two (short-lived) "Google relapses," so I added a few days to my "totally Google-less" time to compensate for that.
I'll be honest – part of me expected that, at the end of my self-imposed Google-moratorium, I would run back into Google's warm embrace. Up until two months ago my entire life (work and play) revolved around Google products and services. Gmail, Google Docs, Music, the Play Store, Android, ChromeOS... I'm not sure exactly how it happened, but somewhere along the way, I had put nearly 100% of my digital life in the hands of a single company. And I LIKED it. How could I possibly cut Google out of my life?
