I probably spend more time on the Internet now than either one of them. Until recently I was an academic librarian at a law school. We would try to tell the students that even though most research could be done online, there were times when books were better. They very rarely took us up on that.

I think about the endless hours I used to spend in the library tracking down a single piece of information. Then MEDLINE came out and revolutionized everything. We only had to spend hours in the library PULLING the information. Now I can retrieve the same stuff in 5 seconds on Google Scholar. The Internet is SO DARN COOL. The internet is SO DARN COOL.
