I find personally that since finding the web, I am far less likely to read a book and far more likely to read the same sorts of information online.

The internet really is in someways the logical existention of a personal library. And unlike a realitively static library, one can get the most up to date information on any topic imaginable.

Great point.The same holds true for me. Did you ever realize the volume of what you read on line is much greater? Sometimes I will print out an article to share, and I am amazed at how many pages there are. (and for the smarties out there, no, it's not large font!)

You're right; the web is fast becoming the world's true public library.

I tell my kids that a Google search is the first step in doing a homework assignment.
