I was curious about this so I tabbed the first three "Answers" pages and found that over half of them were derived from a search engine. I for one would be out of a "post" if there weren't any.

That's a good question West-bus, as much as there are some smart people who volunteer on this site, we would have to have some geniuses here and maybe a couple of rocket scientists to answer some of the technical questions that come through, if these types of questions were not asked, i reckon this site would survive based on the fact that the members here really try and help to the best of their knowledge.

Sure it would. It would simply survive differently. We would have to rely solely on our "collective intellect". Judging by some of the information that we glean from many places on the internet, Google included, we might not be too far off anyway. The "facts" that are found and passed along as gospel, are mind-blowing! (Just like some of my answers) lol

Probably not unless they had experts online giving advice for things .... without a search engine how could we search :) Go back to books :))

I have 1881 encyclopedias, they are all leather bound marbled edges, end papers, they all have cords on the spine old fashioned letterpress binding style, they would have been all hand sewn , they are really nice but falling apart, I was a book binder before I got ill, I hope to fix them up some day they sit in my Library sadly looking very tired but when I restore them they will have another 400 years of life plus :)

Oh, West-bus...there is absolutely no way I
could answer 90-95% of the questions I do
without the Google search engine.

Most questions on this site involve information, which is easily obtained by Google. Therefore, I think that without Google, there would have been less answers, and that the questions would have been about more personal issues/opinions.
