Amazing, just amazing
you can plug in any question and you can get almost all the answers you want to know on the internet
amazing, just amazing

so i wanted to know the weather in Tokyo
i google the word "Tokyo" and "weather"
and i even found out the weather as far as April.
amazing.

do you know what people used to do when they wanted to know something?
they looked up at the encyclopedia
some families were so proud that they had this whole set of encyclopedia
from Vol. 1 to about 20.
and there were sales person who went from door to door selling these encyclopedia
b/c many people wanted to have it on their book shelves

also in the old days, people went to the library to do research
you had to know what you are looking for and go to that section and look at the book shelf
see what kind of books they had in relation to what you are interested in knowing

so those are the good old days
now, no body goes to the library to borrow books
the books are almost all outdated
not that you can always get up to date information on the internet
yet you can find out how old the information is

and also the pictures
amazing
i plug in the key word and click "images"
now, most of the pictures i put up on the blog are from google images
amazing
just amazing

I am so lucky to be able to live in the 90s and 2010s
to see the evolution of the technology
life is so rich because of internet
and i cannot live without it
