now a days, kids in school can simply google what they want for an essay or assignment. 

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
