How to Live Without Google?? What is the Impact of Google in our life?
If Google hadn't become the defacto search engine, something else would have. There were a number of options before Google, and there will likely be a number of options after it. There were also semi-alternatives like Gopher. Personally, there are some things that I like about Gopher that are still lacking in Google, although it's gotten much better. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gopher_(protocol)
During 1990s there was a balance between the following ways to access Web content:
1- Typing URL of Websites in a browser's address bar
2- Using Web directories e.g. Yahoo Directory
3- Following hyperlinks in web pages
4- Using search engines
Since around 2000, search engines especially Google have been changing our 'information seeking behavior' and now it is hard to imaging Web and internet without search tools especially Google. This paper might be useful in this regard:

Sadanand Pandey : still can, if there is a replacement for Google. or maybe in the future there are other machines like Google? thank you.
There are always alternative technical solutions or pathways, i.e. the origin and nature of technology is to multiply knowledge with skills.
Google is becoming an addiction to human life as they are developing a reflex of searching any kind of information on ''Google''. and the verb ''to google'' is created
I would say google can be a life savior. When I was preparing for my Master degree in my home country I had not any internet access. I had to go to the library and spend very long hours to find a specific paper related to my topic or find a good book. While now by using google just one click is enough to show hundreds of information that might be helpful to me.
Now really Google plays an important role public life. But in 2030 Artificial intelligence plays a major role.

Dear Sadanand Pandey,
In my opinion, if it were not for this technology concern like Google, then this technological, Internet gap of specific remote information services would be quickly filled by other companies. Technological internet companies are creating new standards and technological solutions for the provision of specific internet services and information tools. On the other hand, the offers of technological internet companies are a derivative of citizens' demand for certain information services accessible via the Internet.

If there is no google, then there must be other search engine. Nothing is permanent.
Google have a great impact on today's generation. It would be be difficult but not impossible 😊.
