I was just recently trying to find information on some equipment. The question I had was a pretty basic question on the fundamental way the electronics work together. I have books, but it is too hard looking up something that you don't have a special name for. Anyway, the way I have been doing it for years is through the internet.. searching. It was much more convenient than the books, and effective.
Today, I got so many results from the past 7 years on a question that is very date dependent. There is no real way to search based on date..
The internet is starting to feel like a ghost town. There are tonnes and tonnes of sites out there, but they are all inactive.
So that is my geeky complaint. I hate inactive sites and 404s.
