Ever since we started texting (and Google searching), autocomplete has become a part of our lives, for better or worse. Whether in the old
T9 text entry or the
full-keyboard on smart phones (click that second link at your own peril--you might spend an hour on that page), autocomplete (and autocomplete errors) has led to some humorous mixups.
I was amused by
this map, which reimagines the states in the USA as defined by their #1 Google autocomplete result. Google autocomplete is always excellent, and once taught me that
most of America is terrified of Chinese people. Good stuff. Lot of football on that map.
Yeah, I'm not exactly overwhelming your intellectual side with my posts here today, but it's Friday and things were getting a little heavy on here yesterday (what with all the
racism talk and all), so why not lighten up every now and again?
