A 5-Year-Old's Questions for Google Home - Neatorama

A father who is totally embracing modern technology discovers that Google Home had saved a year's worth of data, including his 5-year-old son's questions. He is charmed by his son's curiosity about the world, and appreciates the funny parts.

Rowan's questions are adorable. On the other hand, it's a bit creepy to think that all these commands to an app are recorded for someone else to find, and for Google to analyze and market.

My children came to me with incessant questions about the world throughout their childhoods, which I tried my best to answer, even if I had to look it up. As a result, they thought I was the repository of all the world's wisdom. They know better now, but I wouldn't trade that experience for all the chocolate. -via Laughing Squid

Great video! Very interesting - but rather scary that Google saves all searches. That info could easily be abused by a hostile government, or domineering parents. That is why I like DuckDuckGo, which doesn't save your searches.

I can imagine having two Moons for the Earth. I'm sure we'd be experiencing longer nights or rather more likely more night like phases. However, the Sci-fi junkie in me is wondering how cool it would be to see two Moons in the sky...regardless of the pull on the tidal waves! ;)

"Six Moons of Uranus."

Tee-hee!

Moons don't give you nights. Suns give you days. When you don't see sun, you have night.

@ Thai

If there was another moon we may end up with an Eclipse like setting which plunges people into a "night-like" setting.

Only 14 moons on Jupiter?

you know, if you shrunk the solar system down to scale with Pluto touching your toes and Mercury at the top of your head, Uranus is exactly where you'd think it would be.

One minute - why isn't Pluto on that list? It was thought to be a planet, but then taken away.
Anybody else miss it?

Pluto isn't a 'hypothetical planet', it's a classified 'dwarf planet'. Pluto's existence is not a theory, thus 'hypothetical' doesn't apply as an adjective.
