fav reference tool is google–anything and everything is on there at your finger tips, i remember before google, there were these places you could go to with lots of books-beleive they called them “library”. Who’d a thunk it?

A half century ago sci-fi writers wrote of a world where computers took over for books, schools…. A half century ago I did not believe that cash would be out and bank cards in…. Orwell’s big brother–I didn’t believe it could ever exist. Look at the computer banks and all they record. Deaver wrote an interesting mystery on it.
