back in my day, i had to get on a bus and drag my ass to my university in the middle of winter and dig around for what i wanted.
once i had the books i needed, i stuffed them into a bag that weighed a metric ton and bused them back home.
then i had to bus them back when i was done.
call me old or whatever, but I actually had to work for the information i needed. you had to put in some actual labour instead of using google and never leaving the living room.
i'm assuming kids have it that easy now? i wouldn't know...i have no kids or relatives in that age group
Oh I can remember spending hours in the library finding the books I needed. Making copies of pages, writing down sources, page numbers, authors, etc...
But things change with each generation. I'm sure when my son is my age he'll be looking back saying "I remember when we still had to google stuff..."
