I remember the days when Greybeards would look down on me for using Google in my first IT job, they would harp on about how real Sysadmins use man pages and O’Reilly books to solve problems, and if you tried to Google something you were incompetent. I had college professors that told me you can’t use the Internet for research because the Internet is a not a legitimate source of information, only libraries can have real information.

What happened to all those folks? They retired, and turned into Boomers who are now unable to function in society at a basic level and do things like online banking or operate a smartphone.
