Sometimes we get too smart for our own good
My daughter Lydia was wondering the other day whether one of her favorite TV shows had been renewed for another season. I suggested that she check online for news. I laid out for her how I would go about such a search—what terms I would use for a search of recent entertainment news, how I would do a search of discussion groups to see if comments by fans revealed any news that had been announced. I poured out for her advanced search techniques and proudly awaited to see which of them she'd use.
She nodded her head at my insights and then headed for the computer, saying, "I think I'll check the show's website."
