Today we discuss what may seem to be the minor subject of Internet Search.  But is it as minor as we suspect or is there something going on with Internet Search that demands investigation?  We dive into the history of Internet Search, how it started and how searching for a subject today turns up very different results than it did in the mid-1990s.  But first we talk about how grocery store shopping carts help to reveal your true personality and Aaron’s favorite new winter season movie.  Make sure you listen to the end to find out how an internet search almost caused Erin to make a very dumb purchase.
