We also had libraries.
We still have libraries.
Unwillingly politicised libraries, but sure, we still got 'em.
Yeah, OP is true for the small silly stuff that you wouldn't bother looking up but for important things there were multiple ways to look stuff up.
Now instead we have an over emphasis on small unimportant stuff and misinformation is rampant. Not sure that's better.
