"Many young lawyers believe they can find all the law they need online, just by entering a few search terms. But top legal researchers know better."

The first thought that popped into my head last week when the power went out was, "Oh geez, now they are going to have to use the books!!". I'm glad that I still use print materials on a daily basis in my research. As I thought this, an attorney stormed out of his office saying, "Great, now we're going to have to use the books!!"
