    I wish the generation of today would know of and how to use the dewey decimal system w/ out having to google what it is or how to use it.

    Why? If it's become basically irrelevant, why do you think they should know about it? (Not that anyone can't figure it out in about 10 seconds. It's not like it's complicated. That's the whole point).
    Please explain in 10 seconds of your typing to the rest of us how it works.
    Why? Books certainly have their place and for serious research they are still the best source, but is DDS necessary?
    No. DDS is not. Books can easily be grouped into categories without it and the internet makes finding the specific book within a category that you need much more efficient.
    Monkey Driven, Call this Living?
