Since I know that google exists, me having asked you a question already means that I think your answer could be more valuable than a search engine's. You know, as a human being who probably knows me.
That way, I get to also learn things about you. What you know and how you feel about it. Meanwhile, you've learned something about me – the fact that I don't. Sharing knowledge and discussing things is the whole point of a conversation, isn't it? But I guess since we now have devices in our pockets 24/7, devices we have all kind of just agreed are right about everything, we now make a habit of shutting down avenues of conversation in favor of getting shallow one-size-fits-all overviews, often gemini-plagiarized, reductive and missing context.
If you don't know, just say you don't know! I know damn well I can google it myself.
I know it's often just a way of shutting down people who are being annoying, but I can't help but feel like small habits like these, of deferring to flawed but convenient technology in favor of what might be a slightly inconvenient social interaction, are contributing to our collective decline in socialization and critical thinking.
