Before the internet and search engines ever came along, that's what I used books for. I'd look things up, remember where to find them, and then forget most of the details until I needed them and then go look them up again.<br /><br /><br />The funniest thing about it? After about the third time looking the same thing up, I usually remember it.<br /><br />As far as Carmageddon goes, I'm just hoping that the 405 isn't too messed up when I go to L.A. next February. It'll still be a construction zone then, but I'm not really up for going miles and miles out of my way to get to the hotel, which is about three blocks from the 405, right by the airport.<br /><br />Have a good weekend.littlemissattitudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09826943351455750612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10292815.post-86319488962420005082011-07-15T17:20:31.521-07:002011-07-15T17:20:31.521-07:00You are now contributing to our diminished capacit...You are now contributing to our diminished capacity to use other resources other than Google. Our brains are now being rewired to refer only to Google rather than to learn from regular resources (spouses, friends, books) and remember information (As discussed in the news today.) If you told me what a Sig Alert was, according to research, I would be more likely to remember it. Instead, I will look it up and quickly forget it because my subconscious knows I can always Google it again. :-)<br /><br />Actually - I am a sponge and remember all things I read regardless of the source.<br /><br />Happy Carmageddon.McMGrad89https://www.blogger.com/profile/01724953414601437820noreply@blogger.com
