Wealth of Information

Information at your fingertips. Not more then 10 years ago if I needed an answer to a problem I had to visit the local library and look through encyclopedia's and reference books or find someone with experience to answer the question. When you started an application on your computer and it came up with an error message, you prayed that someone out there has had a similar experience, or that some manual or reference book has got it well documented.

Today it's simple. Open up Google. Type in the error. Browse through a few hundred pages of results. 90% of the problems I have I solve by following these steps. We have a wealth of information at our fingertips, free of charge, and we don't always even realise just how simple it is. I solve other peoples problems by following the same exact scenario. Most of these people have access to the internet, however still does not grasp the concept of instant information access.

So my question, simple and straighforward, is this:

Have you actually tried googling for your question ?
