    Wikipedia was started in 2001, and Google in 1998. Who was saying this to you when you were 2?

        They said “no Google and no Wikipedia,” not “Google and Wikipedia were not as widespread as they are today”

          I feel like you misread. I think they meant Wikipedia and google not allowed for sources.

            Why would you assume they’d just randomly change the topic like that?

              The subject became “stupid shit teachers say that is not applicable in the real world” and in that context the subject never changed. They were probably told “you won’t have a calculator in your pocket all the time” as well as “don’t using the internet(google and Wikipedia) as sources” which was very common to be told around the time when they would have been in school. I’m not attacking you I just think you misunderstood as everyone is possible of doing.

                Perhaps you should entertain the idea that you misunderstood. I suppose it’s also possible that OC is just not very good at expressing themselves.

                  Maybe they aren’t good at expressing themselves but it makes sense with my point of view where as taking your viewpoint it’s just nonsense. Maybe they had a point of view where it makes sense. Where they are coming from it makes the comment make sense where if we follow yours we just think everyone else is an idiot with no room for fault of your own. That’s fine if you are always right but you are not, as with everyone.

                    People say nonsense on the Internet all the time. It’s the safest assumption.
