can you find answers online?

One of my frequently-checked website is Answers.com, which I use as my English dictionary. It has been proved very useful.

Like many web-users, I take Google as the God of know-it-all.

Not quite recently, I found several how-to websites, two of which are called eHow.com and wikiHow.com
I personally prefer wikiHow.com, essentially because it first caught my attention by an super interesting how-to article "How to run on a wall". You'll be surprised that many unusual or abstract questions have been answered online. What surprises me even more is the fact of the existence of the answers to ill-defined questions!

See? That is a great example between human mind and computer calculation. Humans have the ability to answer ill-defined questions. Computers, at best, may be able to give a good guess but the good guess usually is not a satisfying answer.

I have been struggling with something recently. Feeling helpless, I turned to internet. First, I simply could not focus on work so that I tried to find something interesting to read online. Afterwards, the whole thing has become more and more interesting as it develops online (as in my mind and as in the cyber world).

It began as I typed "break" in the blank bar of Answers.com
The definition of the word did not satisfy my real question.
Thus, I googled "take a break in relationship". The first link was "Can true love take a break"
(I later tried googling "take a break in a relationship", and the results were different. A single-lettered word did make a difference.)
I clicked on it. One quarters of the posted answers gave a positive to the question.
Wow!
People really are answering and looking for answers to their questions online!!! Wow!!!

Hey, I read the last issue of the last year of Time. The person of the year 2007 is YOU. The user-generating generation is not coming. It is already happening and developing. I feel so behind.

I could not read any answer to "Can true love take a break" before knowing the definition of "true love".
Therefore, I went to wikiHow.com to find the answer of "How to define love".
I found the Tips and Warnings sections very amusing.

One tip was "Lust could lead to love."
Why was this sentence categorized as a tip of defining love?
Hm...

One warning was "True love may come only once in a lifetime." followed by another warning saying "If someone tells you true love only happens once, they have seen too many Disney films." Obviously, you can see a conflict here.

It turned out that this did not help me at all but a funny essay.
Luckily, I found a link on the right side of the article. A link in a column called "Related wikiHows", haha, how cute. Then I was linked to "How to know the difference between love, infatuation and lust". Alright, this time, I would say it's enough because this how-to article touched some part of my heart and I had to stop doing research on this topic.
How to calm myself down is to write. So I am writing now, online.

But I am obsessed now.
So I also click on "How to not be an obsessive girlfriend"
And I think back as how I have been. It is totally not fair to me because of the situation I am in right now. I am so contextually primed and thus believe that I AM an obsessive girlfriend. Not fair at all.
Well, no, I am not that crazy as a person or as an obsessive person. I am not qualified as an obsessive girlfriend according to that article. Hooooo... feel relieved. See how easy that my emotion can be changed by an online unauthorized authority. Boy, I am going to ban all that stuff for a while.
No love songs. No love movies. No nothing.

Maybe it is time to shift my attention back to my dissertation.
By the way, I met a friend writing his dissertation in a coffee house. He asked "Do you want to be dissertated this year?"
Oh yes. I know the answer of this question, and I don't have to go online to find the answer.
