The history of the internet is a wild thing. I know i’m going to run the risk of sounding like a millennial, but whatever I am a millennial. But back in the day, people really had to track down information. Students had to spend their days on end in libraries because they had to, and nowadays people spend time in library because they want to. If you want any answer to any question you might have, all you have to do is pull out your phone or open up your computer. First of all, I have no idea how all that information got there. Like seriously. You can never run out of pages to search on google. The opportunities are endless. How convent it is to look up information now is mind blowing. Even things like the Library of Congress and Google have made old historical documents all available online. You literally do not need to leave your bed to learn or see the world. It’s crazy to me because I have had my attention brought to this issue, but I would have never thought about it before because it has never been any other way.
