    If only there were some world-wide interconnected network of computers full of more information than you could possibly imagine, all of it searchable instantly where you could find out who Matthew Perry was.

    Alas…

      I remember the world pre-pocket (or home) internet. We thought access to information was the core issue of people being ignorant/misinformed/stupid, surely instant access to world libraries with all the cumulated human knowledge would alleviate that.

      We were wrong.

            Very simple- my point was to castigate you for telling us you didn’t know who someone was as if you couldn’t have just found out with minimal effeort.

            Your turn: Why did you think we needed to know that you don’t know who Matthew Perry is?
