[QUOTE="taykair, post: 176561, member: 9418"] It used to be that folks like me - folks whose knowledge base was very broad but not very deep, folks who knew a little bit about a lot of things - were more valued even than those specialists who knew a lot about one particular thing but were otherwise ignorant of everything else. However, we have been living in the Age of Specialization for quite some time now and, thanks to Google, folks like me aren't good for much anymore - other than being a Jeopardy contestant or a Trivial Pursuit player. I still think there is value in knowing things without constantly having to look them up somewhere, but I suppose I'm in the minority on that score - and surrounded by folks who can answer any question more quickly and completely by consulting their smart-phones than I can by remembering the stuff I've learned.
