What standard means of seeking information did you lose? You can still visit a library or ask a friend?
I don’t think people remember what using search was like before google. All of the problems you mentioned weren’t even possible 25 years ago.
On other search engines you had to know specialized query languages.
This is all possible because google collects this data from users. They’ve been doing it forever, and it does have some value.
Oh I don’t feel I’ve lost those means, and often prefer them still, but find even people of my generation who grew up without constant access to the internet fall to pieces at the prospect of looking in a book, a paper map or writing a letter, etc.
It is as if they forget the information persists without connectivity.
