Luke answers some common auto-completed questions from Google. Hi listeners. Do you know what -Google auto-complete- is? You know when you start to google something, like maybe -why is Luke-s English Podcast so awesome?- and when you type -why is-, Google completes your question with lots of options? Those options are -auto-completes-. It-s when Google predicts your search based on frequently asked searches. Try typing -why is- into Google. It will give you some options, like -why is the sky blue?- Some auto-completes are quite fascinating, because they make you think -why are people asking these crazy questions?- or -that-s a good question - what-s the answer?- Episode page:-https://teacherluke.co.uk/2013/10/25/151-google-questions/- Some Google auto-completes are really deep, if you take the time to consider them.
