well, that maybe a slight exaggeration but I really miss the days when you could 'argue' for days about 'which actor was in...'?, 'who wrote such and such a song...' or just about anything that in the olden days would have taken a fair amount of research.
These days, 2 minutes on t'internet and you have the answer.

What if Google was wrong?

I "Googled" it.

It isn't.

What if Google was wrong?

The dreaded Google paradox. 

well that's the thing, t'internet is the authority on everything now.
I can remember having ongoing disputes with mates about who scored the winning goal against whoever. You would have had to go to a library, looked up an old game program or newspaper which of course you never did because it wasn't that important.

Times have changed Daryl. You need to get yourself out of the dark ages and embrace this wealth of information........use it for good and not evil........use Bing.

I remember tracing back the chain of "authorities" to determine the value and authenticity of the original source. 

It was usually along the lines of, "I heard from this guy with the big blonde afro in the record store in Uptown that he knew a dude at the SuperDawg who played bass in a band that used to jam in a garage down the street from this big guy with a huge Harley who would ride over to a club in Bucktown near that place with the great Gyros where that one guy burned his hands on the fries and the dude behind the counter was wearing a button that was the same colour as the old VW bug that used to sit in front of that abandoned warehouse where that kid with the scar would set off fireworks that he bought from a guy who looked a lot like that guy on the commercial for the used car salesman that wears a plaid jacket like this other dude's dad who said that he read somewhere that the Moon landing was faked.  They made a mistake and landed on Mars.  It's true.  You can look it up."

Those were the days.

UB gets it - they were the halcyon days of blagging
 

Brilliant Bubba!! You've just about covered everything that's in Google.

Well Done!
