My children are still baffled about how we researched things before Google.

And I'm saddened when I have to say "Well, we went to the library, and we hoped their encyclopaedia wasn't too racist".

In fact, as a kid I learned to use certain countries as a sort of metric of an encyclopaedia's relevance - if it discussed Rhodesia in the current tense, be very careful with anything else in it.
