That's your answer? We don't need the internet anymore because we have books?

My local library is great. But they don't have all books, like reference information about a particular manufacturer's product. And they're not open at 2am. And you have to go there.

Behold, this is the future. We've improved computers so much going to the library is the answer for getting information. Correction: getting correct information.


Is wrong right anymore?
