    Totally. People would debate facts in arguments because you couldn’t just Google it. Okay, I know you might say it’s the same today with MAGA or whatever. But I mean like silly things like which car is faster, which country is bigger etc, who sang a certain song or played a certain character in a movie.

      Ready access to the facts is a huge loss. These conversations used to drive a lot of social interactions that no longer exist.

      Realistically is it more important that we know who played a certain character in a movie or that we had a a group of friends spending time together discussing it?
