google smart, not
"In Google’s view, information is a kind of commodity, a utilitarian resource that can be mined and processed with industrial efficiency. The more pieces of information we can “access” and the faster we can extract their gist, the more productive we become as thinkers."
Nicholas Carr
Before Google we could harbor questions, reformulate questions, compile questions and discount questions without being able to arrive at an answer. Before Google there was a longer cogitation of questions.
So the benefit of an immediate Google answer then should also weigh if the skills of harboring, reformuating, compiling and discounting answers, as well as questions, is useful.

Linotype revival
The
Linotype used for the printing of the Daily Iowan is now safely relocated to the Johnson County Historical Society museum. Rigger Larry Raid and Printing department regulars skillfully defied gravity and brought the 3,300 lb. machine to its new home. At JCHS the Linotype will again compose and cast lines of type and inform students of the
University of Iowa Center for the Book that there is a whole century (1880 -1980) of print production that they missed.
