I'm feeling myself old and I'm 28.

Cause in my early childhood in 2003-2007 we would resort to search engines only when we couldn't find something by better (but more manual and social) means.

Because - mwahahaha - most of the results were machine-generated crap.

So I actually feel very uplift due to people promising the Web to get back to norm in this sense.
