I'm pretty sure that my generation will never pick up a book from the library again unless they go for Master's degrees or PhD's. I love the ease of the internet, the ability to cut and paste and bring multiple sources together in seconds. I feel like the people who went to college just ten years ago were left out of this information access. Internet research will dominate the academic world forever.
I'm so glad I can sit at home, watch the History Channel and research my Flemish gown from sources, paintings, and anecdotal recreations from all over the world.
What a great life for academics.
