I can't help but be jealous of the ease which which today's students can find not only good deals on books, but just about any information they might need online. Everything was so much more manual and time-consuming when I was in college.
That's very true. For any fact you needed for a report, you used to have to go to the library, look for a relevant book, try to find what you were looking for... Now, you can just do a search online and have the answer in seconds.
