And yet my 18 year old son has never known a different world. The easy availability of information is just how it always was to him. He can't really conceive of how hard it was to find out something. We've around 4000 books in our home, covering all manner of topics - what would have been a small town library in times past. But still Google is easier and faster. We live in amazing times, and we don't even notice.

Also despite the Internet, the local library has remained quite popular, and ironically, among the young students. Taking notes from a big textbook on a table is still easier on the hands and eyes than scrolling and squinting through the same text on a 5-inch screen.
