This generational exchange and encouragement by us geezers that Matthew do a little research on his own rather than use GCA.com as a google surrogate, really makes me stop a minute and wonder.
We geezers who all had our own burning curiosities on a vast array of subjects at that age, and wanted to obtain information such as Matthew wondering about the curriculum and admissions (and location
) of Cornell; would have to go to the library and look it up. Each time we were curious, we had to jump a bus, ride our bikes, walk or whatever, go to the physical library location and search the card catelog or periodical catelogue or use a rudimentary electronic house computer system to get the dewey decimal or stacks location of the material, etc etc. The velocity of our learning was at a snails pace in terms of what we had to go through to pull up the simplest of inquiries. Yet, we learned...
Now, here is a fellow that has this stuff (as we all do) AT OUR FINGERTIPS! And yet we are constantly asking questions of the treehouse collective, about rudimentary issues that any google or web search would turn up.
But, don't feel bad Matthew, I for one couldn't spell then, can't spell now, and my grammar skills are a joke...
