Doing "Research" has radically changed in the modern world.. [View all]

I was thinking a moment ago..who was that old senator from Pennsylvania who became a democrat?..something brought that into my brain.....so I typed those exact words into the Google Search space at the top of the screen and came up with Arlen Specter.
.Yes, I recalled, Arlen Specter is the answer that I was looking for...."an old senator from Pennsylvania who became a democrat."

Google Search found the answer in less than a second...Now if I had one of those hand held things, I could have talked to the computer, and would have got the answer from someone called ...."Sere"...I know that one is not spelled right..ok..I can't spell...often the computer finds some of the misspelled words and corrects them by itself...

So what I was saying is that research of any kind has changed radically. It is almost as if you do not teach students how to use the library...or search in a library. And I believe that is not at all good. Knowing the "library" is extremely important in education...I am not sure that knowing ..."Serre" or what her name is ...is that important...After all, I am typing this right now,...without Ser I'...or however she spells it.
