LIES!!
Well, I do remember writing college papers without Google and Wikipedia. There was this big building they called a Library and these funky long, skinny drawers filled with cards...wonder what ever happened to those?
That card catalog shredded my cuticles and I loved it.
It was quiet in libraries then too.
The cards from the card catalog are used as wallpaper in the elevators of the L.A. Central Library, btw.
