Gregory Thomas, Vice President, Portfolio Management Services Feb 24, 2026
Multiple line-graph charts showing the increase from 2010 to 2025 in the use of Google searches for basic life skills such as how to hang up a picture or how to use a credit card.

Today's Chart of the Day from Chartr shows a steady rise in Google searches for basic “adulting” tasks—from doing laundry and using a mop to filing taxes and setting up a bank account.

Each trend line has drifted upward over the past decade, reflecting how deeply people now rely on technology for step‑by‑step guidance in everyday life.

As digital tools have become more embedded in routines and expectations for instant answers grow, it’s no surprise that more individuals are turning to search engines for help with tasks previous generations learned offline from their parents or on the job.

Continued advancements in AI will likely accelerate this pattern, making online assistance an even more integral part of learning practical life skills.
