What we know defines us as much as what we ask. Let's look at who we are.
Modern Look at Questions, Old Yet Ever New

This process yields insight into the zeitgeist of thoughts, interests and problems of the population.
Specifically, if you apply the autocomplete to words that start a question, you can discover the most popular questions of the time. Systematically constructing a question, term by term, can reveal very entertaining, if alarming, patterns.
