If you’re feeling a bit bored today, type the phrase “fun facts” into the Google search box… Have you done it?
The search engine is serving users up random q & a style facts that are sure to keep your procrastination going for a while longer.
As well as giving you the bite-sized knowledge, it also gives you a link to the source so you can broaden your knowledge even more if you’re feeling curious.
It appears to be a neat update on Google’s ‘I’m feeling lucky’ feature and although the facts I was shown appear pretty random right now, I bet Google will start using our data to give us eerily personalized facts eventually.
