I don't know -- looking someting up in a book, even with a decent computer index, is still orders of magnitude slower than a googling it.

- evgen 17y agoThe difference is that when you "google it" you have nothing but a pile of undifferentiated facts and opinions without any context. Just knowing the right book to consult is sometimes a more valuable skill than being able to select the right keywords for a web search. The fact that so few seem to understand the difference between collecting facts and actually mastering a subject is painful to watch.
