Should I be afraid to research my good ideas on google?

Ideas, in all likelihood they’re why you’re reading this sentence. You are the type of person who needs to know. So you’ve come to an answer site full of other folks who want answers just like you. (except here they’re jellies!)

Now, for me ideas are a way of life. They’re what keeps me going. My ideas are like a favorite sweater. Many of them are original, and I want to keep them that way. I also think that many of them were independently thought of already by other likeminded individuals who have already made great successful strides with them before they ever dawned on me.

But others noone seems to have thought yet. How do I know that? Because I checked Google, of course.

But I don’t like the idea that once I type something into a search bar it goes straight into the hands of a building, or buildings, or small cities full, of the most talented, brightest, wealthiest IT development teams on earth, who have deftly shown a compunction to blatantly target and copy successful businesses!

So, should I, feeling this paranoia, still search away using terminology that gives away my intellectual property!?
