    Too lazy to set a custom title

    The death of the know it all.

    I have a friend who whips out her phone and googles everything. Tell her that China has 3 billion poeple and within seconds she has the correct answer. in the past a person could declare a "fact" and with enough bravado, everyone would accept it. Not any longer. You can take the wind out any braggart's sails with a quick mumbled sentence to Siri.

    Interesting times.

      And fact-checkers are so much fun to have a conversation with, too.

          I hate that too...but it is cool to have the ability to find out whatever the fuck you want in 0.2 seconds. Remember when you knew things by reading a book or hearing it from someone else's mouth?

              True...but why, if we have that ability now...do people seem to be getting collectively more stupid?

                  Because many people, like the old geezer thread starter, are only discovering what Google is used for in 2016 or haven't even discovered so yet. This thread should have been posted at least 10 years ago.

                                      Beats an old friend of mine who pulled out a calculator at dinner to make sure he didn't pay a penny more than him and his wife ate at dinner. Old friend of mine for a reason.

                                                          And how often did you requote some interesting fact to find out it was wrong? I think my youth was filled with rubbish as far as facts go.

                                                          I was on the sideline for this display so I was neither trying to get erroneous facts in or check the facts. It was just an interesting moment that did not exist 10 years ago.

It can become difficult to make a decision, understand an issue, when there is too much information to process. Also, because it has become too easy to find out what we want to know, we basically ask our computers everything.

If there was no internet, we'd say "he was in that movie where the thing blew up" and forget about it a few seconds later. Now that you know you can find out anything, the urge to find out is hard to resist.
