When I was in NC in school, I would snag the Charlotte Observer at times.  I thought it a good newspaper, it was more comprehensive than the Raleigh paper, or even the AJC (Atlanta).  I remember getting a subscription to the Cincinnati Enquirer when I moved there and being very disappointed at their sports section.

And the last time I saw one, it was a pale model of what it was even then, for obvious reasons.

The AJC on Sunday has some heft to it, but I have not read it other than on line, where I seem able to see everything for free even though they keep wanting me to pony up.  I don't know what I get if I pay for it on line.

The WSJ gives you 3 I think peaks a month.  I used to walk up to my broker's office to read it on occasion, but they have been closed to customers.  Maybe they have reopened now, not sure.

It's not phone numbers, it's knowing what on what continent the Mississippi River lies, in what century the Civil War took place, who was the "Father of our Country," without having to look it up that bothers me.

You can't understand today if all you know about yesterday is what you can look up.

Since you're a teacher, I'll trust that happened to you, and lord almighty. 

I think the ability to look up often gives an enormous depth to the information we can acquire. Like a kid could just get the itch and come to school knowing a whole boat load about the history of the river. But certianly the rigid adherence to the broad factual stuff is probably lost. 

I think that action yields the opposite outcome:  because you can look anything up really quickly, you no longer remember any of it.

This.
