...Today, about 30-40 minutes ago, (11:05 AM Central Time) I had another experience that proved the internet, along with a computer is truly ...Amazing BEYOND BELIEF.

...Here is the story: I wanted to know where they made my favorite bread that I eat every day. Some place called,
"Alpha Bakery" in Chicago, Illinois. So, within 5 minutes the internet & computer not only showed on a map where
the company is located, it also showed a picture of the building on a street with cars parked outside the building. .
..................the name of the bread is..." S. Rosen's 9 Grain Bread."

... IN the ..."Old Days" if I wanted that information, I would have to go to the ..."Library" and hope that they had the
correct information along with maps and other information about the company. Further, I would have spent a lot of time
trying to research the company, find the maps and other info, & also, looking for the correct information on the company and its location

......IN THE NEW DAYS , I typed in the information on the computer, and the internet found the location
within 1 minute after I typed in the information.......... (or less)

........................ ...And that is the same for all information I want, Whether it be well known information,
...........odd information, movie information, or porno information.....................................................
..........The internet finds the information. Whatever the information is......................

..............You want history?......Well, Google will find that history in multiple sources..............
..............How about sports.. WELL....What kind of Sports... Some sites will show you a full game of
baseball, basketball, soccer, or weight lifting competition. Old olympic games from 40 years ago, or recent sports like a golf tournament that was played yesterday.

.....Well this is swell & many young people do not know what an advancement the internet and computers really are... People just accept the fact that it is there, & for everyones use....................
....................Most youngsters do not know about .THE OLD DAYS...
....................& What we went through to get all kinds of information.................................
...................................................................................................................................................
...................YES..... "THE OLD DAYS"..... You know why I know?.....Yes,..I am. ..."O..L..D"...

.........................................Thank You for reading this, if you got through it all...............................

...........................................................Stuart G......................................."That's All Folks"............................

........................OK.... Do you know where the expression "That's All Folks" came from.....well................
...............................Look it up on your computer..... If you are reading this, you got one........
............................... And.. your computer is currently hooked up to the...INTERNET..!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1. Could you please not write in all caps? It's really hard to read. Thx.

5. I have finished process of changing the letters from caps to small letters. I hope it is better now.

2. Computer? Don't need no stinkin' computer.

I just ask my Apple Watch and my smartphone anything I need to know. 😁

3. Internet is amazing. DU earlier referred to something like, 'the Second Universal Law

of Stupidity'.

I thought to myself ok, I'll look it up.
Carlo Cipolla popped up in seconds, with the 5 Universal Laws of Stupidity.

[ Carlo was a professor of economic history, a favorite field of mine].

4. Ya gots to be careful though.

Ya gots to be careful though.

Oftentimes, there is as much bad/inclorrect information as good information.

Like checking with Fox.

6. Mostly, yeah.

Some things antedate the Internet and cannot be recovered with it. But it is quite amazing how much obscure old knowledge (or present-day knowledge) is just a search string away.
