According to Google, these were the top trends in 2021:
It's worth noting that six of these are about money. So the top ten really looks like this:
- Money, money, money.
- Georgia Senate race
- Hurricane Ida
- Kyle Rittenhouse
- Afghanistan
Make of this what you will.
"Near me":
1) COVID vaccine near me
2) COVID testing near me
3) Movies near me
4) Bars near me
5) Bowling near me
6) Brunch near me
7) COVID booster near me
8) Massage places near me
9) Aquarium near me
10) Buffet near me
Not to be too pedantic about it, that would be
1) Money, money, money
4) Georgia Senate Race
6) Money, money
7) Hurricane Ida
8) Kyle Rittenhouse verdict
9) Afghanistan
10) Money
...
For me:
1. COVID precautions, isolation.
2. COVID vaccine #1
3. COVID vaccine #2
4. Finally visiting kids and grandkids, no mask!
5. Back to masking everywhere again, isolation again.
6. COVID vaccine #3
7. Holidays alone again - kids and grandkids not vaccinated or too far away.
That's it, my life in 2021; ugh.
Holy cow! I didn't search on any of these things, nor did I look to wikipedia on these topics. Perhaps I'm not a "real American." (Also, I use duckduckgo.com)
