Show of Hands

This is what I first wondered. Then I realized I could use that ability to win major money on trivia shows, so I changed my answer.

great question!

Then please create a musical masterpiece that trumps the classicals, or fix the downhill fall of Disney! We need some new fresh stuff!!

Why would I pick google when I already have the Internet

I picked data because I have a pretty good imagination. :T

It's called I have google to do the data stuff for me. I don't have access already to the imagination, so of course I would choose that.

If the lineup for imagination had been da Vinci, Edison, and Maxwell I might have gone with that, but given that it was all artistic people and I am more into designing stuff I could lookup part specs if I had the google ability.

Imagination wouldn't help me without their talent. I already have an awesome imagination, too. I'd really not want either, but if I had to pick, I'd choose the mental google.

I wish I still had the imagination I did as a child. I hope my children will keep theirs.

Holy cow. I'd feel like XJ9! I would ace every freaking test. This has always been a dream of mine. *-*

I was genuinely surprised more people didn't pick imagination. I don't know why I was just expecting it.

I feel like knowing nearly everything would take the fun out of learning. Yes, you'd never struggle on tests or to prove your spouse wrong in arguments, but I'd rather be able to create these big beautiful ideas and see them come to fruition.

Stupid question and doesn't factor in the imagination it would take to figure out where that information would be located or what to do with it/what it means.

I heres ya! You'd find his actual kenyan birth certificate, hidden beneath is numerous copies of the communist manifesto, and origin of species!

Imagination, because I would paint million dollar masterpieces.

30 years ago, ow oils have chosen to be a robot, but know I have a phone that does that for me. I'll take the imagination.

Imagination, sounds like fun

Tough choice. I'd say data so that I could finally expose Obama. But the imagination would be more beneficial to me directly.

We already have the data of google readily available, on every mobile device and computers

I'll leave the data to Google. Imagination takes you far.

Yep. I've been to his museum in Florida and an exhibit in London. Awesome stuff.

Why would I want to read about Picasso or Mozart if I have the option to think like them?
I'll take imagination, after all in my opinion, without it we would have little to be knowledgable about.

Creativity doesn't help as much when you're a coder.

I like to take the time to learn, I like the learning process. Knowing everything instantly would ruin that for me. I'll take the imagination.

How do you dislike a comment?

I think with that amount of imagination I would combust.

I'm already really imaginative. With all THAT imagination, I'd be awesome and rich. Then I'd just buy Google at some point. Win and win.

With data I could instantly mentally access information that could say- save someone's life by having medical knowledge; be able to have intelligent conversations with anyone on any subject; never get lost; teach my kids... I think data would be more useful, speaking in life application.

Tough choice... Jeopardy camp or " goofy piano playing artist"

Imagine..Then I could imagine what I'd Google =)

Imagination was the precursor to developing the access to any existing data, in an instant. I take imagination in a heartbeat!

Who cares, if you aren't successful you can just imagine that you are.

It's quite a stretch to add Walt Disney to this group.

I don't feel it is about what his paintings look like, but instead the new forms and styles he introduced.

Uh...imagination. You could still use google when you needed it.

Imagine

Image, knowing all the porn

imagination, because I can very quickly take out my iphone and google things. but you can't fudge imagination.

Sixplus: I am guessing you've searched

Plus, I wouldn't want someone else's imagination. It is such a personal thing, a reflection of your dreams and soul, that it is not something to be acquired. It is intrinsic to one's personal journey and relationship with God. So yeah - data please!

Data because I already have a phenomenal imagination

You're probably right, I just don't look forward to writing specs.

Imagination. Then I'd team up with someone who picked google and we would rule the world.

Do you mean imagination of Steve Jobs?

Imagination is great, but it doesnt mean u have the talent to put that imagination to work

I would think you'd want the opposite. I'm an engineer and chose imagination. Everyone has Access to the same data more or less, but you need creativity and imagination to be innovative and successful.

Like Carl Sagan I would require imagination and skepticism both.

I didn't say that was his only contribution; I'm just suggesting that he was a pioneer in many of the things he did, *and* that he shouldn't be judged solely by the more recent films that are what many younger people may think represent him.

I was going to put Lennon.????

Of course knowledge without imagination is also useless
