 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. |

I don't think I'll ever use anything but google. At my vocational class they used bing as their default search engine and it would always piss me off. They also use IE too. Little douche bags.
