But.

If instead of asking questions we all just Googled for an answer, there would not be much in the way of conversation. There would be no opportunity for those who are good at Googling to jump in with a knowledgeable answer, thereby acquiring something in the way of social standing.

If instead of some of us asking dumb questions that might get new answers from someone else who has actual experience, we solely rely on Googling to find existing answers, we, as a lay society, would stagnate.

To take the tea-leaf example:

Asking if tea leaves are good for plants is a dumb question because you can Google it and get an answer in seconds. But by actually going ahead and asking the question, and getting an erudite answer from a botanist, instead of a “from experience” answer from a regular hands-on know-nothing gardener, then having the gall to complain about the answer, the questioner triggered a secondary conversation about the conversation itself, which in turn engendered conversations about other related subjects, and, almost surreptitiously, got a number of people interested in the subject of communication theory.

So. From small seeds of ignorance and stupidity, great vines of … and so on.

I love the blog owner’s answer! 😀 Great way to vent in an intelligent and thoughtful manner.

That picture could pertain to alot of things, this forum or no. And sometimes google is annoying to look through.

Speaking of Google….

The Nathonian institute of Anti-Google. He used to have a counter or something, but I can’t find it today.

Basically this is the guy who was valedictorian in my graduating year. Sometimes entertaining, sometimes not.

Hahaha! Love that blackboard…
