Most of us imagined that the countless good morning messages on WhatsApp that we wake up to daily, vanish into the black hole of cyber space. We barely have a moment to give a thought to the first before the next good morning meme comes in. And, this seemingly endless assembly line of feel-good wishes sent by Indians is now clogging up Internet space, according to an article published in the Wall Street Journal last week. So much so, that Google has had to develop Files Go, a special app to help us delete the pile up. Internet surveys have indicated a 10-fold increase in search for 'good morning' memes. The engineers at Google spent months "trying to decode the DNA of a 'good morning' message" according to Josh Woodward, Google product manager who led the team building Files Go.
