In the golden age of Information Technology, Google becomes the encyclopedia where everyone can find answers to their questions no matter how tricky or silly they may be. So, have you ever wondered how people used to get answers in the Pre-Google era? Reading thousands of books? Or seeking help from experts? These solutions are quite a waste of time and money. Therefore, those brought their queries to the librarians who could fill the gaps in their knowledge.
And now, thanks to the New York Public Library, you may step back to the 1940s and 1980s, with a list of bizarre and amusing questions. NYPL has posted them on Instagram and Twitter under the hashtag #LetMeLibrarianThatForYou. Scroll down to see what life was like pre-Google. I'm sure they will make your day just a tiny bit merrier. Share this list with your friends if you find it funny. And don't forget to upvote your favs.
