do you guys think about this? i think about this all the time. i can't even imagine not being able to easily research something at the drop of a hat. i don't understand how things were done before. there are so many insignificant things that look up on a semi daily basis. i didn't have the internet/computer when i was a kid, but back then most my questions were easily answered by my parents.

sure people can read books. i do read books. but it's not the same thing at all. if i had to read an entire book anytime i wanted to know anything then there are a lot of things i just wouldn't know.

on a similar note, something that i increasingly find myself thinking about when i'm reading printed material is "wouldn't it be awesome if i could hit "apple + f" right now and search this whole thing. i am not a fan of all that reading on screens, nook, ipad type of stuff, but i can't deny it would be really nice to be able to search my books for specific quotes/sections.
