More than a quarter of 16 to 24-year olds search the internet for dating tips, while more than a third (34 per cent) have used it to research interesting topics before a date, according to new research commissioned by Google.

谷歌的一份新的调查报告显示，四分之一以上的16-24岁青年会搜索约会小贴士，三分之一以上的人（34%）在约会之前会用谷歌搜索有意思的话题。

While it's hardly news that more of us than ever are using our mobiles and tablets to look up information - a quarter of the 2,138 respondents admitted to Googling while on the toilet - our increasing reliance on the internet to provide the answers to our romantic quandaries¹ is faintly depressing.

Google's first results page for 'How to kiss' includes a YouTube video on how to kiss a stranger in 10 seconds, 'naughty tips and juicy secrets on how to kiss' from Cosmopolitan² and an explanation on how to deal with a bad kisser from 'a guy who loves kissing'. The prevalence of such content aimed squarely at young girls is, some might argue, a demonstration³ of the failure to adequately teach pre-teens the ins and outs of early courtship - or, conversely, illustrates⁴ how the internet is a treasure trove⁵ of information for topics you might be too embarrassed to ask a fellow human.

But it's not just our love lives that trigger burning questions to Google - behind how to kiss, how to draw, crochet⁶ and knit are among the top 10 searches under 'how to'. There has been a resurgence⁷ of interest in traditional crafts in recent years, attributed to the recession as people sought out cheap and cheerful hobbies.

Britons have also used Google throughout 2014 to keep abreast⁸ of world events, with this summer's Ice Bucket Challenge driving many to seek out the meaning of ALS (Amyotrophic lateral⁹ sclerosis, more commonly known in the UK as motor neurone disease (MND). The current Ebola crisis caused the disease to register as the second most common 'what is...' search term.

Getting directions and checking the weather forecast were also extremely popular terms, alongside searching for information on places we are about to visit. But while 'I love you' was the most-Googled foreign translation phrase, the list wouldn't be complete without the dismissive 'shut up' to keep things on an even keel.
