This hasn't happened for a long time...

Google search prevents you from making "mistakes", and therefore reduces serendipity.

I typo'd a search and ended up with a letter combination never used in English. But DuckDuckGo happily showed me pages where that combo is fairly common: Indonesian. Technical Indonesian borrows a lot of vocabulary from English, it seems.

Efficiency reduces redundancy, and therefore slack. We knew this. But now I also know that it reduces the happy accidents as well as the bad ones.
