You'd get used to it again, and no one would have expectations that required timely access to information about everything.
Phone books would be a definite regression though. I don't want to physically leaf through five pages of AAAlberts and Aarons to find the plumber.

Of course you'd adapt. But I don't think most people would think it was better in any way, shape, or form. I do still use my local yellow pages every now and then because local tradespeople are terrible about advertising on the internet in general and I don't have many neighbors. But word of mouth is better when you can. The general contractor who will hopefully do a big job for me after a fire is a reference from a local electrician who helped get my power turned back on who was a reference from the deputy fire chief.
