I use Google to look up probably a dozen facts a day. When we watch TV or talk about history and such, my wife and I will find ourselves wondering about this, that and the other. Before Internet access, I would probably not have tried to find most such answers in an encyclopedia, because even with an index, it was tedious and often fruitless to search. There was no keyword matching capability. If the Internet had been around when I was a kid, I would have been much brighter by the time I completed my education.
