First of all, one of those pictures had John the evangelist holding a book. SHOPPED! They didn't have books back then. Secondly, Ill bet in all those libraries pictured, you couldn't find the Leave it to Beaver episode where Eddie Haskell steals the milk money.

And I'll bet that on the internet, you won't find a copy of any article from any newspaper, ever. But at a library you can go to the micro-fiche.

And there's the problem: With the internet, we will have omnipotence, instant access to all the information that has been uploaded; BUT we will use this limited knowledge to the exclusion of original source materials; thus dumbing-down our knowledge of the subject, as we repeat only the easily accessible facts, from the top 5% of the subject.
