    When I was a teenager I’d write down questions that occurred to me throughout the day in an agenda, so I would be able to look them up next time I went to the library. I still did the same when we got internet - I’d have a list of things to search at home that evening.

    Now we have the bulk of human knowledge at our fingertips and we use it to get likes and followers.

      That’s probably not a bad habit to have, even today. Having all this knowledge available makes you feel like you should look everything up immediately or not at all. I know that I have a lot of passing thoughts like that that I don’t look up because I’m busy, then forget about them.
