Why do people ask questions that could easily be solved by google?

Q. Why do people ask questions that could easily be solved by google?

Why do people ask questions about what song this is (when they have the lyrics) or what is the definition of this word? I mean come on, all you have to do is google it and you will have your answer in less than 30 seconds.

A. Probably because they want to have some sort of human interaction. Of course, by using the computer to ask the question, they're making their concept of a human communicating with them a little dreary.

Or they think Google is out to get them.

How many contacts on your list ever ask questions and how many answer your questions?

Q. I just noticed that I have only a few whoever ask questions and or answer questions. Is this the same for you too?

A. I hardly ever ask a question and when I see one of my Contacts post a question right away I will answer theirs. When one of them stars a question I usually go check it out and if I have anything to share I'll share but, mostly I go to give them a star. Many of them don't star or ask a question.

How do you manage young children when they ask questions about some embarrassing ads on television?

Q. How do you manage young children when they ask questions about some
embarrassing advertisement appear on television ?

For example, Sanitary napkin ads, condoms, etc, since small children always ask unanswerable questions.

Any hilarious experiences on this ?

Particularly how you manage such a situation

A. When my kids were small, the most embarrassing ads were for Preparation H and denture adhesive!
Nowadays, anything goes!

If the grandkids ask about an ad that is beyond them -- (they're 3 & 4) -- I just say "that is nothing that you need to be concerned with right now." They I try to direct their attention elsewhere.

What I find appalling is the violence and bad language -- especially the bad language that the little ones are exposed to on so many shows. The sexual innuendos go right over their heads. They sometimes find the violence frightening. But that bad language sticks in their vocabularies like Crazy Glue!

The only amusing story I can think of is onetime when my daughter and son, about 10 & 9, were watching an episode of "Designing Women." When the plot involved a gay bar, my son did not "get it." My daughter explained that there were bars for gay men and gay women. My son did not believe her. "Yeah, right!" he said. "And I guess next you are going to tell me that there are gay gas stations and gay grocery stores, too!"

I'd love to see 'em clean up the language on TV!

Why do people ask questions on Yahoo about serious health issues?

Q. Everyone who asks questions in this forum has internet access. With multiple search engines at their fingertips, and respectable websites full of reliable information, why do people ask questions about serious medical conditions and rely on the answers of others who are usually not experts? Some advice I've seen has been downright dangerous. On occasion that bad advice is actually chosen as a 'best answer'. What makes people use this forum rather than asking their own health care provider or seeking answers on reliable medical websites?

A. I've noticed this. There is a similar phenomenon in the"Law and Ethics" section.

My guess is people are lazy. People are afraid of doctors. Yahoo Answers can give people the illusion of control. People like to ask a real perso questions then look things up.

Original Question

What is the best time of day to ask questions on Yahoo Answers?

Q. What is the best time of day to ask questions on Yahoo Answers if you want a lot of answers? What is the best time of day to answer questions to get Best Answers and lots of points?

A. I've noticed that people are more likely to answer your question if you have a lot of fans in addition to posting your question at the right time of day. The best time of day to post questions that I have found is between 12PM and 4PM Central Standard Time. Another good time is between 7PM and 11PM Central Standard Time, as this is when a lot of people get on to wind down at the end of the day. This is when I believe the most people are online here.

Hope this helps :P

How long will it take before it becomes lame and uncool to ask questions on Yahoo Answers?

Q. When will it become uncool for "the children" to ask questions like "what outfit should I wear" or "does he/she like me" or "what color should I dye my hair". Questions like that and any other questions that people should be figuring out for themselves or finding the answers to themselves. Has the young generation become this lazy? Or superficial? Or shallow? Can't they think for themselves? What's going to happen when they have to think for themselves?

A. I am not saying you are wrong or that I disagree with you, but knowing when to ask for help is actually a characteristic of a person who thinks independently.

Also, you have to accept that the Internet is still sorta new and we're still finding out how best to use it.

Take care.

Why do people ask questions here instead of just looking it up?

Q. I can't believe how many people ask questions here, when perfectly good answers are already out there online.
I just don't get it, you have to wait for someone to respond, and more than half the answers you get aren't even right.
Is it laziness, stupidity, both?

A. both laziness and stupidity.

I've seen one guy who wants to buy 10 large wind turbines, probably worth $100M. He keeps asking where to buy them. I keep pointing him to a list of manufacturer's web sites. I finally realized he didn't know how to click on a link.

Once he came back and said he couldn't find his way around GE's web site. Major stupidity, all he had to do was click on "contact me" at the bottom of every page and fill in the form.

But apparently he could do nothing except ask questions here, that's all he learned to do, so he asks the same question over and over, 8 times so far. Pathetic!

Can i ask naughty and dirty things on yahoo answers?

Q. i have seen many like that in yahoo answers like sex,masturbate,first time and personal things.when i first use it,i don't expect to.but there are many questions like that.so,i was wondering that can i ask questions like that?

A. Go to the Men's and Women's health and you are sure to find questions asking about masturbation. It's perfectly acceptable to ask that so as long as it's not worded in "chat" format. If you've taken the Community Guidelines quiz, which gets you 20 points, you'd find that the question asking about which sex position they should use in bed is acceptable to.

Any question is acceptable, however dirty or naughty, so as long as it doesn't violate the rules. And the most common violations are for chat, which can be sorted by rewording the question.
