DID YOU LOOK UP ON THE INTERNET?

A pretty familiar phrase, no? We all say that and it is always a good idea. Funny how this world has changed so much since the 70's. Back in the day, we did all our looking up by word of mouth, telephone calls and going to the library or encyclopedia. This information could take days to amass and sometimes even longer.

It took a long time for a student to write a successful paper while in college, a report took weeks to compose and correcting it took longer as well.

Today you can write a report on anything and find resources for information that supplement the report and make the job so much easier and complete.

Today you can learn how to hook up an appliance, fix a radio or clean a car by looking it up on the Internet and do so within an hour of time total time.

Need a translation of some Chinese, look it up, you'll find it somewhere either in a program of the website. If you don't believe me, just look at the immortal words of the old professor, the one and only, Casey Stengel who often said: "And you can look it up!"
