   The same discourse happened when Google appeared.

   "you should not google, you should use a web directory, you will get exposed to a more diverse set of sites, not just what google pre-digested for you"

   "you should not google, you should go to a library and search in physical media instead, google is for lazy people who can't think for themselves"

      I don't think that's true, because google (and other search engines) were primarily about pointing you to sources which could give you an answer, not providing the answer directly.
