modern life

As I was walking into the building where my office is yesterday I heard two security guards "discussing" something, not sure exactly what. One says to the other "but how do you know that?" The second says "because I googled it." At which point the first just accepted it.

How'd humans survive the millenia without google?

Well, partially because information developed at a slower pace, collaboration took months to years, technilogical changes were gradual, and people didn't care about stuff outside of their realm on influence. Now... we know everything about people we don't even care about, and you have to keep up with a rapidly changing reality.

Besides, without google, I would have to find something else geeky enough to fangirl.
