    At least Google can help you find sources that know it all.

    Back when I was the newsletter editor for the World Internet Numismatic Society I used to often spend weeks researching, trying to find a numismatic trivia question that couldn't be answered in 15 seconds. That's not an easy thing to do ;)

    Google has changed the whole dynamic of questions/trivia.

    No doubt, but Google existed back then, it was invented in 1996, and I still managed to do it. It just wasn't easy.

    The whole internet has changed things, however, the internet does not have everything. I am worried that as time goes on and people die and books turn to dust, a lot of knowledge will be lost because young people think everything is on the internet.
