Familarity, Contempt and Lazy thinking. Powered by the web

Listening to George Hook tonight. The Movie segment. And somethings bothered me about it for a while. Its Philip Molloy. And the reviews are OK. He likes what he like and doesn't like what he doesn't like. We can agree to agree or agree not to agree but thats not really the point. The point is not having Google in the studio. Someone was ringing in to ask about a sequel to "Band of Brothers". I'd heard of something about Spielberg doing a treatment of the war in the Pacific along the same lines. Philip hadn't heard of anything. The listeners texted in with the details.

Somehow there seems no reason in this day and age not to be able to check this out on the fly in the studio. Why don't they have web access in the studio? Then you gotta ask the question about whoever texted in. Why didn't they Google the answer (not web literate, not aware?). So I guess the question is what is someone bringing to the show thats of value of an evening. The questions seem trite - is such and such available, when is such and such out, - go visit entertainment.ie or aint'itcoolnews or IMDB or Amazon.com.

There has to be something different offered by these programs or else there is no point if I can get it all from Google.
