These days, I know many people in this business who have all the world's knowledge in their pocket. They're forever checking their smartphones for this and that. Just the other day, someone asked me if I knew of a good app for sizing gas lines. I wondered why the guy didn't use a paper version for that. Remember? We used to have these charts. Still do, in fact. But then I realized that paper is so 20th century. Not that I'm trying to get in touch with my inner fogie here or go all Luddite on you. I love today's technology as much as any-one, but I still keep a dusty copy of Merriam Webster's Collegiate Dictionary on the shelf over my desk. Sure, I haven't opened in it years because it's much easier and faster for me to Google a word I need to check, but that book has a such a nice maroon color, and it smells like knowledge, so I'm keeping it.
