The infrmatin frm Ggle shwed that nearly 40 percent f peple brn between 1997 and 2012 prefer Duyin fr nline searches.
In sme way, the rising ppularity f “Hw-t” vides shws the fact that yung peple’s search habits have changed. It’s ppular arund the wrld that yung peple use scial media platfrms fr searching.
