When did you stop consulting books for the answer to your problems and questions?

I still consult the I King when I have a question of the kind google can't answer, and I consult wikipedia more often than google.

What good's a book if your minds already made up?

Or, do read anything you don't already know?

it helps me know how my mind is made up, a very useful self introspection tool.

Wikpedia for technical maths and science stuff, and lists of books of a given author, Google for travel planning and miscellaneous. Textbooks still for some maths techniques I might be rusty on...

I end up debating idiots on the internet. I could use SciFinder to find chemistry and biology facts. But when the article is found, and the short abstract, the idiot yells "conspiracy" in either case, as the real article is behind a paywall. Then they complain about tax payer paid research. The paper should be free.
