Too true. Same for all new information that I want to find. Instead of picking up a volume of the encyclopedia, I pick up a search engine. Although I have dozens of paper cookbooks, and thousands of recipes that I've put into a data base on the computer, (as well as plenty of downloaded e-cookbooks,) I really only go to these when I want
'that certain recipe,' not something new. For new ideas I go to the Internet. It's just so much easier to find what I'm looking for with a search engine and the correct search string. I guess that was really the deciding factor; that correct search string. Learning the expressions only took a day or two, and I'm sure I don't know them all, but the ones I do use cut my search time tremendously.
I guess novels aren't the only thing to get pushed into a corner by the Computer Age.
