:::::::I vividly recall a theoretical electrical engineering professor I did research with back in Dallas who was excited as a bright-eyed kid in a candy store to come up to me after my seminar on my doctoral research to tell me that he was reminded so much of all the exciting physical chemistry lectures he attended in the 60s and 70s. He said my work was too important to ignore but no one today will care about it because students just want nicely wrapped answers.

::::::Also I remember what the Internet was like in the 1990s, Wikipedia f*cking amazing compared to what I had back then. I don't think the Internet is dumbing us down and making us less empathetic, I think it does the opposite. [[User:Kurzon|Kurzon]] ([[User talk:Kurzon|talk]]) 19:59, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
:::::::I'm pointing to the internet being dumbed down too much. Social media is king today.

:::::::We also used to FTP into the U. Hawaii library to search for books and journal articles in our own library. Why spend hours at a card catalog when you can just stay in your dorm room and perform simple queries on the network before even stepping into the library?
