Sin of the times
Or perhaps a Co-sin? Well, whichever…
I was working on a paper yesterday, and needed to look up a certain statistic. I flipped through the class reader a couple times. Couldn’t find it. Finally I logged onto the school library’s website ran a search for the author, and pulled up the original paper—which turns out to have been in the reader all along...
I am starting to forget how to look stuff up without search features. I wonder if it should even be necessary? I mean, my time is valuable; there are other things I could be doing than trying to remember exactly who said what when. The simple fact is that I know it was said, and the computer can keep track of the rest. Alas, I cannot click Ctrl+F on the great keyboard of life and discover these things...
