Message:: [QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 754759, member: 112"]If you were to bet me, you'd lose. I could buy dozens of the best computers for what I have spent on books. And still spend on books. And I'm pretty dang good on a computer when it comes to finding information. Unfotunately, when it comes to the information found on-line - a great deal of it is nothing more than something copied from some other web site. In violation of copyright law I might add. But that's not the real problem. The real problem is that a whole lot of the information you can find on the internet is just plain wrong, completely and totally inaccurate.   That may be the way you took his comments. But I took them differently. I took them to mean that by and large the world has become lazy. Extremely lazy ! And ya know what, it's true, 100% true. Let me give you an example. You mentioned the amount of money people spend on computers. OK, they do I'll grant you that. But they are still too lazy to even use those computers. People who have been members on this web site for years still ask questions, all kinds of questions. Nothing wrong with that, I encourage folks to ask questions. But what I would rather see is those same folks go no further than this very forum and use a section titled Numismatic Resources. Probably 90% of any question ever asked on this forum can be answered just by looking in that one section. But do they even bother to look ? No, of course not. Why ? Because they are lazy. It's so much easier to just ask some body else. You see, computers are only useful if you actually use them. But that requires a certain amount of effort. Something that too many are not willing to expend these days. And that is the point that I got from the OP's post.[/QUOTE]
