> your ability to Google something
In my opinion, this actually is something that makes me valuable. It doesn't matter how well you can synthesize information if you can't find it in the first place.
Having the ability to take a problem, figure out what you don't know, reprocess those parts into a format that Googles™ well, filter out the noise from the results, and only then synthesize the information gathered is actually not as common as you might think.
- chrisbolin 9y agototally agree! maybe I was being too flippant :P > Having the ability to take a problem, figure out what you don't know, reprocess those parts into a format that Googles™ well, filter out the noise from the results, and only then synthesize the information gathered That's spot on.
- lazerpants 9y agoAgreed. When I worked in IT it was 75% of my job.
- pmlnr 9y agoI remember times when I had the PHP manual, the HTML reference, etc. saved offline to save bandwidth.
- arc_of_descent 9y agoYeah. Now I wish I could save Google offline :)
