Do you google everything, or trust what people tell you?

I am a young Gen X, and I feel kind of lucky to have experienced the transition from old and new technology. I know what its like to search the library cards to find books that I need for a school paper (hand written 😆). I also learned a lot of knowledge from other people passed on from one generation to the next.

I also really love the fact that I can Google anything and get a mostly reliable answer, depending on the topic... instantly.

I am quick to search the internet for little trivia because I cant stop trying to learn new things. I may be wrong, but I think millennials are the same way? At least thats how I feel from personal experience.

I have noticed that the Gen Z coworkers of mine have taken on the old school art of discussing things they have learned, but not immediately confirming the truth of it with the internet. I really love that. I feel like they (the people I know personally) enjoy the the art of conversation, rather than just being right as fast as possible.

I guess I am curious what your go to resource is? It's been nice discussing innocent topics at work that dont immediately bring out the phones to fact check with literally everything.

What do you think?

P.S. this thread idea spawned after I googled if anyone else puts crunchy cheeto's on their peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

So dont think too hard 😆

I hardly use google for information gathering

moreso after their whole ai currated results ****

as for trusting people, there's far too many variables at play there to be a consistent or even hard yes/no, from person to person and the content and context of the things in question within
