Interesting, you regret having to go to libraries and spend hours looking up data, when you could be spending that time using the data to create something new?

I don't mean to pick on you, but Carr, in his "be skeptical of my skepticism" paragraph, hits the nail on the head. Sure the internet makes manual data mining obsolete, but, is that really a bad thing?
