Being able to find an Internet connection these days is pretty easy.  Ive
left the data center and driven to mcdonalds to download stuff in a pinch.
But, I can find things in a real book easier.  I think it¹s the way my
mind works.  Its getting easier though on the Kindle. Just learned
behavior is all.

I think of this "paperless" idiocy every time I write "20 reams of
printer paper" on the grocery list.

While it should be mandatory that things like operational
plans/procedures and contact lists should be printed out Just In Case,
the ability to have a near-infinite number of books and other references
in my mobile phone, which has a 9,000mAh battery which doesn't need to be
charged more than once every 3 or 4 days (as well as a spare battery of
the same capacity), makes it a lot easier to a) have ready access to
reference materials I know in advance I need and b) quickly locate and
download any additional references I may need, but hadn't anticipated
needing ahead of time.

This capability has been of great utility on several occasions involving
significant sturm und drang.
