Those of us living in the new Media & Technological Age are used to seeing the words 'Yahoo' and 'Google' on a daily basis. Many people are under the impression that these are modern words, but recently I have discovered that they are not at all (if you knew this already, forgive my stupidity)!
In 'Gullivers Travels' Jonathan Swift uses the word "Yahoo" - This was written in 1726.
In 'The Faraway Tree Series' Enid Blyton uses the word "Google" - The first book of the series was written in 1939.
As Solomon wisely said: "What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun!" (Ecclesiastes 1:9)
Be Full Grace and Mercy,
