These days, we are all too reliant on technology, I’ll be the first to admit. I don’t have a huge issue with it, because it makes my life much more convenient, enjoyable, and it usually works. Usually.

I am a heavy user of the Google ecosystem. From Pixel phones and Chromebooks to Google Home and of course, Gmail — the search giant pervades every aspect of my life, and I’ve never really had an issue with that in the past.

People always mention how google is selling our data, etc, and when you see stuff like your google maps timeline, it sends a chill down your spine, but I’ve always thought “well, they’re probably being more productive with that data than I am” and that was that.

This struck some fear into my heart for sure. I rely so heavily on the google ecosystem, I started to think about what would happen if I somehow lost access to my primary google account.

For a start, that would be my Gmail and google drive gone, where I keep record of countless important documents and conversations.
