Perhaps the information overload caused by the internet isn't always the best thing.
At least once a week someone asks me a question and reacts with mild shock and astonishment when I have the answer.
First, do you seriously have no general trivial knowledge?
Second, have you ever used Google before?
Setting up the right home page, and in less than 5 minutes, I know that today:
- It is 42 degrees outside.
- Sexual assaults are happening in airports courtesy of TSA officers, and people are getting mad and contemplating protests.
- Lindsey Lohan is now driving again. (seriously. WTF.)
- Handy tips on how I can make 26 different table centerpeices with pinecones and pumpkin vines.
- There's more fighting happening between the Koreas.
- The Pope has said HIV+ people can use condoms (random.)
While I've never been one for continuing higher education in the form of university, I do appreciate having some general knowledge and not presenting myself as an imbecile. Of course, anyone who knows me can also tell you I'm a news junkie.
Google has put the world at my fingertips. I can learn more in a couple hours than I learned in a year of college. So I have to agree with WebMD.com.
More Information.
Better Health.
Yes! Exactly. Empower the people to take a proactive role in their health.
Based on the level of knowledge possessed by some of the Doctors I've met, they could stand to check it out.
Alas, I have been informed that I am no longer permitted to visit the site.
Seriously.
So, one time I happened to think that a cold was Hepititis, and everyone is all up in arms saying I "overreact."
goddamn.
