It is faster to google it than it is to write it twice if I made a mistake.

I mean, I know like 2… OH god. I am old. Also anyone else, do you feel like you use the internet? Do you feel individuated from the traditional political spectrum? If so can I interview you?

Furthermore, what the “old generations” often forget, is that the ability to gain more knowledge has become more important than the actual knowledge one possesses. Social networking and familiarity with the internet (yes, even Wikipedia) is an extraordinary means to do this. I could ask any “young person”, and any “old person”, what the proper syntax of an SQL Insert statement is. The old person would say “Ask a programmer” and the young person would say “get me Google”.
