There have been times in the last, I dunno, 2 decades? with my friends and I have been having a debate or disagreement on something, at which point one of us usually would stop, pull out their phone, and say something like "why are we even arguing, I have the sum of human knowledge in my pocket." It's because we're old and grew up before the Internet was more than DARPA NET or AOL. These kids have no excuse lol
