Accustomed brilliance from [Brian Micklethwait](http://www.brianmicklethwait.com/index.php/weblog/thoughts%5Fon%5Fthe%5Fage%5Fof%5Fgoogle/?ref=onemanandhisblog.com):

> It has taken me quite a while to get used to the idea that, in the Age of Google, if you have a question, you can quickly find an answer. It�s like being a small boy again, only this time when you shout �Why?!?!?!� (or whatever) at your mother, your mother is the Internet, and it knows, and it can tell you in seconds.

However, it’s a lot less likely to cook your dinner and iron your shirts for you�
