The internet is only as useful as the information you pull off of it as they say. And Google has remained the top source for many webizens around the world as they searched for information relevant to their lives. So what was the most relevant search terms to people around the world today? (As of 5PM ET)
NOAA
The top search of the moment is for the US government agency called the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. (NOAA) President Trump nominated the second-in-command at the agency today, a man by the name of Timothy Gallaudet. NOAA is resposible for monitoring weather and atmospheric conditions around the world among other things.
Destiny 2
The second and third spot has been taken by the upcoming release of the video game Destiny 2 by Activision. It's a much anticipated online-only multiplayer first-person shooter video game. With more than 300,000 searches at the moment, it looks like this will be a best-selling game for sure.
Sports
Roger Federer (prior to the injury one would assume)
Sports news was in the top fourth through seventh places in Google searches at the moment. From Tilman Fertitta's purchase of the Rockets to College Football rankings to the tennis news of Madison Keys making it to the quarter finals of the US Open and Roger Federer receiving treatment for a lower back injury.
Royal News from the UK
The 8th highest amount of searches was on Meghan Markle's an American actresses comments related to her relationship with Prince Harry.
Oregon Fires
The 9th spot with just over 50,000 searches was held by the searches related to the fires currently burning in Oregon. The image is from the NASA Earth Observatory and is a good indication of just how smoky it is over there in the Pacific Northwest region of North America.
And last but not least...
Elon Musk and AI
Aside from his busy life running the rocket company SpaceX and the electric car company Tesla, Elon Musk spends a lot of time talking about the future on Twitter. He recently tweeted that governments would take advanced AI systems from companies who developed them if necessary. This is a continuation on his belief that advanced or even super-advance level AI systems are quickly being developed and are more dangerous to humanity than even nuclear weapons.
