this is progress

I am in a computer lab doing research for my intergovernmental policy class paper and I am finding everything I need online...no libraires, no searching through floors of shelves, flipping through yearly-bound periodicals to find page 37 of issue 7 of volume 17. None of that running around that added to my hair loss in my undergrad years. Nope, just fill in the blanks of the computer and push enter...an abstract and the full text if the abstract looks good.

Yes, sometimes technology is grand. (I'm sure I'll change my mind about that when our robot overlords -- whose wise and fair leadership I will surely embrace -- come to power)
