People used to be ignorant?

Sweet Jeeesus, Glenn Reynolds has hacked out a book. And what a book it is!

"People used to be ignorant," Reynolds writes. "It was hard to learn things. You had to go to libraries, look things up, perhaps sit and wait until a book was fetched from storage, or recalled from another user, or borrowed from a different library . . . Things are different today. I'm writing this in a bar right now, and I have most of human knowledge at my fingertips."

As Mr. TBogg has oft noted, it's passages like that one that makes a parodist look for another line of work.
