It's pretty easy, if you think about it - someone asks you a question; just google it.
....or look it up on Wikipedia;
or god-willing, we can even Ask Jeeves.
And while we all know by now that we should double-check all the info we get from online resources (so sayeth the English major in me), how often do we remember what we look up?
I ask because in the past week, my co-workers and I have looked up random trivia online, only to forget it later that day.
- once when my co-worker had to look up who the Lindbergh baby was. (she forgot it that afternoon)
- and another time today where I looked up if Jehovah's witnesses celebrate birthdays (they don't)
I didn't consider it a big deal at the time, but I was driving home from work today when I tried *again* to remember if Jehovah's witnesses celebrate birthdays (turns out they don't!), I started to wonder if we take all this available-at-your-fingertips information for granted and don't really bother to learn it.
Kind of makes me appreciate all the studying I had to do in school. (Or maybe I just have early onset Alzheimers).
