Re: Encyclopedia/Google

I've googled a lot of stuff you can't find in any encyclopedia. Besides, didn't Diderot fuel a revolution when he wrote the Encyclopedia? Your trouble here is that you're too young to see the fuller sweep of history. You need to consult with older people more often.

True but a lot of which I need at home, in business and in theology etc I must consult the encyclopedia, price guides, reference books, etc because I either have to wade through too many pages of Google or it just isn't to be found there.

Re: Still confused over timing of events.

Hoot, I was 15 years old in 1950 and I can attest to most of your assessment of how things were then. I thought it was an articulately masterful description of the times of that era. In fact I find your input always well articulated, no matter what you're addressing, though I may not always agree with your points. Imo whether we agree or not, I regard you as a great asset to the EvC family.

Re: Interesting topic

As for whether Googling (or any search engine) goes, I would say that it fosters a false sense of truism. The information on the internet is not always verifiable. Anyone, at any time, can inject their bias in to any topic under the sun. Obviously, some websites are better at controlling it than others, but the same could be said of an old fashioned library. Any yahoo can write a book. Writing it doesn't necessarily make it true, I think we'd all agree.

I agree, Nem. Good post.
