Google is... Round 2

While wasting more time typing random phrases and questions into the Google search bar something occurred to me.
The aggregate of searches typed into Google is a window into the human condition.
The questions people ask, their desperation for answers about the unknown; these are the similarities about being human that might be exactly what people need to get past the shallow differences that are created by our post-modern world.

What are people searching for when they turn to the Internet...

Self reflection
google

Express feelings
google

Review morality
google

Search for help
google

Probe the unknown
google

Speculate on the mysteries that surround them
google

Question the limits of the physical world
google

Make statements about life
google

Discuss the Universe
google,universe

Figure out who that dude in tights is
google,superman
