I still somehow grew up partly in between the wireless age and the wired, books vs internet and whatnot. In this day and age, everything's there to be found. It's not anymore about information seeming like treasures that needed to be sought out. Information today is as available as air. It can sometimes be said, "if you can't find it, you're lazy." Sometimes, it holds true.
Let's just face it, everything's online to be found. EVERYTHING. And for anything we need to find out, all we need is Google. No, I'm not promoting the company but laying down the hard facts and hoping to share something in the process.
People still like to ask... myself included but as I have learned to step out, I do hope you could too. We just need to type in our search query and voila! We are presented with relevant pages to seek our potential answer. Sometimes, pages presented aren't as relevant? Then change your search query. That's all there is to it. You can also use related words that can help lead you to pages relating to that which you're looking for.
The nice thing about "googling" is that we're not only going to get the exact, specific answer that we were hoping for, but we will also get related pages that will help us open our minds a bit more with what's out there. Often times, you'll discover pages with answers for questions you didn't even think of but was still VERY relevant to your initial query. This is where the fun begins.
So next time you decide to just ask someone and wait for an answer, try Google. You'll be amazed at what you'll find. From there you'll enter into an endless information stream that can be good or bad (overload) depending on how much you dig. The thrill is the discovery.
Enjoy!
