Serving Proudly As The Voice Of Valley County Since 1913

Finding Information

Do you remember before Amazon and online ordering? In the days before that we had door-to-door sales persons.

Do you recall all of the trips that you made to the library to get the information you needed for a school project or term paper? If you were lucky your parents were concerned about your education, as well as all of the trips you, and maybe Mom, had to make to the library. These concerned parents or grandparents probably purchased a handsome set of encyclopedias from a sales person that visited your home. A big selling point, you had the ability to look up most everything from the comfort of your home. Today we don’t even think of all of those trips, we just “Google” for any information we might want.

I must admit, it still boggles my mind as to how so much can be available to us by just saying “O.K.Google”----and have to admit I belong to the generation that really can’t use my smart phone efficiently yet, so maybe it is good that I still have those old encyclopedias.
