A skill that will now become as rare, given the advent of search engines, as mental long division did, given the advent of hand calculators.
Ah, but there is the art of using search engines. Even Google has its lesser-known abilities (e.g., intitle:, filetype:, and inurl: searches). And there are tons of specialized search engines that go the extra mile or six in their particular areas.
I'm okay with these. But I stand in awe of some of my friends and acquaintances. (Oh, those librarians!)
