Basically the title. The fact that we can read an encyclopedia entry on the economic history of the Netherlands from our phone is crazy. Scrolling over to a random island in the middle of the Atlantic to experience a virtual street tour is insane. There are even websites that let you see live security camera footage (shoutout to EarthCamTV). We have so much information that we take for granted.

    I was stuck in my house a lot as a kid. I would casually read the Encyclopedia Britannica when I was bored.
    Wikipedia is amazing.
