I'm going to lunch now, I promise I'm walking out the door now...
As an IT person, I use search engines about as much as a normal human blinks. I've gotten to the point to where if something important doesn't come to me within half a second, I'm already typing into Google.
A little off topic, but relevant to search engines: Remember when you'd be sitting down with friends watching a TV show and/or a movie and one of you says "Hey, he/she was on that other show...what was it?" From that single question, everyone would put on their thinking caps and ACTUALLY THINK to figure out with clues from the absent-minded person, where they might have seen this actor/actress before. Nowadays, this is gone out the window. Wait, who's that? What show is this? 24? IMDB.com!!! The president's aide from Season 6 of '24' was the guy from Ghostbusters 2! Thank you IMDB for not having to let me think!
Back to Rollyo...
I have my Rollyo set up for myself; it's a lot of sites that I visit when I'm not mindlessly watching blur/green/red bars go across the screen. It can be found here.

The idea that we don't need to think anymore is kind of intriguing. I love the instant gratification of finding this stuff out, but it makes me wonder about the future of trivial knowledge. I used to have a whole lot of worthless junk floating around in my head. What will I use the extra space for?
