I miss the Yellow Pages, because it was easier to find types of businesses in the area. “Find X near me” on the internet doesn’t always give me everything. If I need the number of a particular business, though, the internet is better.

For some reason when I ask to find a certain business near me it gives me businesses in California or Texas or Mississippi.

This is not on my home computer which has a VPN and a few other security features but on my work computer.

I guess I’m a better web surfer than you are.

But it must be rough to be a kid these days. If you want that cute girl’s phone number you might find it on a website but you have to pay.

.
The internet also doesn’t keep up with local businesses that have closed shop—or recently moved.
