Life was tough in the old days. To learn something new, you’d have to—gasp!—read a book! So you’d have to actually have the book with you, open it up, and find the information you needed. The last two steps were easy enough, but the first was a doozy. You might have to go to the library or something. These days, though, you can find pretty much any imaginable fact right away. You should never have to ask a stupid question ever again when you’re at you’re computer. And if you have an iPhone or Blackberry or whatever, you’ve got the Internet with you all the time. So you should NEVER have to ask a stupid question. You simply go to google, type in some information about your question, and presto, you’ve got your answer.

If people annoy you with stupid questions, you can send them to this site. Or, better yet, go to this page, type in what the person asking stupid questions should search for, and send them the link it generates.

Apparently there are people in this world who don’t mind being asked stupid questions, or asking them. I don’t quite understand these people. Maybe I’m just anti-social. Maybe I just have a severe phobia of appearing dumb, and with the Internet I don’t have to worry about asking stupid questions. But I seriously doubt I’m the only one who cringes when people ask things that are easily googleable. So realize that even if you don’t have a problem with it, you may be making yourself look like an idiot.

I realize that some times you have to work a little bit to get a good answer from google. You may need to try a couple of different search terms, or use quotation marks, or whatever. Google even gives you a few tips and a few more to help you out. Sometimes, yes, it’s too hard to find something on google and you have to ask an actual human being. I don’t have a problem with that, but use your brain—and Google—before you ask.
