“I can’t believe people have been wasting their lives like this either! It makes me think that we need a new type of class in schools across the land immediately. Electronic literacy. Just like we learn to skim tables of content or look through an index or just skim chapter titles to find what we’re looking for, we need to teach people about this CTRL F thing.”

Agreed. Digital literacy as a New Liberal Art

Think of all the people who don’t know basic search terms, either.
