Today I was walking the streets of downtown Stuttgart in Germany and of all things possible, I was looking for a post office. I was given some directions by some friendly local, but I still couldn't find it. So I asked another passerby for assistance.
He didn't know, but he immediately popped out his cell phone and told me "Let me check on the Internet". I don't know why, but I felt that this event transitioned me into a whole new era. Most likely because it was the first time in my life that a completely random passerby would access the Internet in order to offer me the assistance I was looking for.
What amazed me even more was the way he formulated his reply soon after:
"The Internet says it's on Marienstrasse 19".
Have Fun!

PS: Beware of what the Internet says... The post office wasn't there ;-)
