It's fun to talk about a thing and see if the person you're with has any knowledge about it before you automatically search it. Boomers often don't even conceive of bringing their questions to the internet, and most younger people do the exact opposite. It's nice to strike a balance and still have conversations.
as i scroll on this app i go to comment and ask the person oh what’s the movie about? or where is this restaurant you’re recommending? or what is a campari soda and where the hell do i get it. but i can just google all these things! hmph. a conundrum.
there’s something to not googling it and learning from someone else. i avoid going to the internet during a convo for this reason
