People underestimate how important being able to google answers on the internet has been for the take-up of linux and many other things. Most of us would be lost without Google.
Aaand the arch wiki
Aaand stack overflow
Aaand the Gentoo wiki
Aaand random Linux forums :P
Aaand very occasionally the accessible source code for when you're really stuck and have no other choice but to sell your soul in exchange for a glimmer of understanding after peering into the abyss.
I’m convinced that if StackOverflow goes down society would follow within a matter of weeks.
