I do very much enjoy being able to find out anything I want to know, ever. I love telling my family that you CAN put a baby bird back in its nest when it falls out, and a dog year isn't 7 years, it's based on the size of the dog.

I also in ways hate the information available to us now. Shopping is ruined by the Internet. There is no more shopping for me. I buy clothes in a store, and food, and nothing else. I can't go to Best Buy and just enjoy buying a product because I know I can find a cheaper price through the mystical interwebs.

I have more to say but I'm finding it difficult to put into words. Something about how information has made our lives better, but at the same time it's taken a toll on my enjoyment of discovery.
