I know. In high school I had to take a bus to the big city library.
You would find a half dozen articles to support your argument, write them on a slip of paper, hand it to the research assistant who gathered the ones they had. Then some of the time the story you wanted was torn out because that was before copiers and sometimes the article had nothing to do with your thesis statement. Now the world is at everyone's fingertips. And for all you know I could be a twelve year old living in Qatar.
all that in our lifetime
