I have always found there to be something quite poetic about Google autocomplete.
It's that thing that completes what you're trying to say,
based on what other people commonly search for,
and it's this that gave me an idea.
So I headed out into central London
to conduct an experiment by using the public to act as Google autocomplete.
I wrote down the most common Google searches onto paper
and then asked random people to complete the sentence,
while my friend Jacob filmed their answers.
I asked different people to answer 16 different questions
and then used the best answers.
I had never met any of the people I spoke to before,
I didn't influence anybody's answers in any way,
and nobody heard what anybody else had said
and they were just free to say whatever they liked.
I wanted to find out whether people's answers would be as similar to each other
or as predictable as Google suggests,
and this is what happened.

Everyone is different yet we are all alike.
Our minds work the same, but it doesn't mean they think the same.
Real life is like google.
But instead of talking to a screen,
We need to talk to each other, and ask each other questions,
because we are all searching for something.
