A teacher long ago told me: 'The next best thing to knowing something is knowing where to look it up.' He said this back in the days when 'looking it up' often meant spending hours in the library. Thus, as a student, I spent a lot of money acquiring a reference shelf of books ' dictionaries, encyclopedias, almanacs, grammar handbooks, and so on ' containing information that I was likely to need frequently . Nowadays, with the Internet, that is no longer necessary ' or at least not as necessary. With a combination of Web searching and a lifetime supply of reference books, I can find out nearly anything I need to know, usually in a matter of minutes. Although, for certain types of information (word definitions, for example) I still prefer my reference books, I find myself relying more and more on the Internet. With all these sources, I am amazed at how inept people are at finding information today. Young people (students) who have grown up in this 'Information Age' seem to be, ironically, less adept at finding information than are old codgers like me, who grew up having to endure the cumbersome process of scouring the library, often for the kind of basic information that is now at the fingertips of anyone with access to a computer and an Internet connection. Don't they teach basic research in school anymore? Apparently not.
