A brief history of 'Google it'

(SUNDAY. 11am) -- Here’s a little thing you can do. Go to Google and type in the letter ‘a’ and if your computer does that predictive thing where it offers you a history of your previous search terms in the drop-down bar, take a minute to actually read what you’ve been looking at over the last few months. It can be quite revealing – a window on your own world.
Here’s my ten most recent entries for ‘t’:

Tom Waits European tour dates
Tyson James Toback
Tube map
Teamwork
Tfl
Travels with Kapuscinski
The Arabian nights
Tesco
TV guide
Toys r us

An eclectic mix, don’t you think?
