Just wondering what you all think. Lately, I've been wondering if we all spend a little too much time Googling than reading the help files suppplied with the products we buy. I'm just as guilty as anyone. As soon as I need to do something I instantly just Google. Where all my answers, albeit short answers, are supplied right inside the Help files. There are so many things that are easily looked up, rather than emailing a Guru. Like, hidden characters, flowing text, nested styles etc. There seems to be a hunger and a thirst for just knowing what we need to know to get by, one step at a time. Rather than buying a book for 60 quid and sitting down and doing a project, looking up what you're not sure as you go along. I have several books beside me on CS2, CS2 for Dummies and Indesign CS2 Bible. I like having these books here, I like referring to them. I like that I've read them, applied the theory and understand it.
Are we spending too much time on-line trying suck the information out of other people? Is it good to talk to others? I like to talk to other people and see what way they do it and approach a problem. I think that aspect is great. But finding out basic functions of the application, the help files are there?
Why are you here? :D
Kind regards,
Eugene
