The internet has been marvelous for old folks like me.
I don’t know how I’d get by without it.
Through Google I found an auto accessory I didn’t even know existed. A few key words and——voila!!!!
Same here, though I’m just a kid (only 57). Finding rare parts for autos, cameras, camping equipment, etc. on the web is fantastic.
“The internet has been marvelous for old folks like me.”
I agree wholehearted, but we did develop the skill set to research and disseminate a much more limited (usually) data pool when we were younger.
Kids today can and do google their homework in many subjects, and even worse, schools have often just given up trying to actively prevent wholesale plaguerism in homework assignments.
Blame the schools, blame whomever, but the bottom line is that many kids today are turning in work where they cut and pasted the info, never had to write or process it, and thus aren’t learning it.
