I just don't know how you older folk did the whole research thing back in the day. I don't know what I would do without the internet when it came to answering my questions within life. All I have to do is open a search engine and I have my answer within minutes....an hour or two tops!

And now with GOOGLE on the scene, this whole process is getting faster and more efficent...I just can't imagine having to sift through card catalogs and papers for hours on end to get the answer to a single question.....

 

I am not that old, but it did suck going to the library and looking crap up!

 

aaaaaahhh, but life was so much simpler and rewarding then. Every thing moved at a slower, comfortable pace. Not as many frustrated sociopath killers am=nd other miscreants either!

 

we learned by mistakes

trial and error

or ask someone that had "been there done that"



...zap!

 

I'm turning 35 next week, not old but I can remember before the internet, when I had to look things up in an encyclopedia. The volume I needed always seemed to be signed out when I needed it most (on the last day before a term paper was due, for example). :o

 

We were just much smarter back then.

The internet is much like AC or satellite tv. It's made folks soft and lazy.

 

I just made sh*t up. With as difficult as it was to get the real answer, no one doubted me.

 

and you have not changed much!

 

Why do men have nipples?

He makes a good point. Today, we had an unidentified appendage that might or might not have been extraterrestrial. In a matter of about 4 hours, it was positively identified as a water-lily root. In the olden days, this would have been all over the local papers, people making claims of "having seen the mothership", all kinds of crazy ***** untill some professor form a University shows up three weeks later and identifies it for what it really is, bringing an end to the party.

The Internet ROX!!!

 

Good one for the ask kobi thread. Also ask why do they pierce them!

 

Hell! We had it made back in the day. You could make stuff up; and, ther was no Google to trip you up, or catch you lying.










I was a lot smarter back then.

 

Actually, back then, the finder would have eaten it and no one would have had any questions.

 

cause girls like to nibble on em....
