I love old school research using books, however the advantages of connected information cannot be understated.

We could do much better with access to online libraries (which don't exist, apart from the very limited sample from these books accessible using Wikipedia).

Current (blogs and articles and forums) online resources provide information at a rate book search just can't provide.

We put men on the moon with pencil and paper.

Trillions and trillions of dollars of technology later, and the best we can do now is fly by and wave.
