New magic 8 ball

Did you know that the number one health search topic on AOL is pregnancy?

I don't know whether people are trying to pacify their fears after a great night of partying they don't remember, or if somehow, someway, the world is giving way to overly conscious soon-to-be mothers.

Either way, I find it both extremely humorous and fascinating.

In a time when we have more information on that subject than ever before, people look to the internet to subside their fears, to reassure them, ultimately, to be their confidant in such a personal and humanistic experience.

Is that what we have come to? Replacing the magic 8 ball with the google search box?!

How disappointing that sounds; for if that is the case, we have truly learned nothing and have only become victims of substitution.
