Habits are interesting things and can take a long time to change. I was in the opposite situation recently. My car broke down in the middle of nowhere and I needed taxis and garages in the local town. I never even thought of directory enquiries. I rang my brother and while we were on the phone, I asked him to Google what I needed. Using search engines for what I need is a deeply ingrained habit for me. Even in situations where picking up the phone might be more sensible. Traditional information sources still have their place, not least because many local businesses in Ireland are still surprisingly hard to find online. Yeah.

We still have a long way to go in my opinion, an example when analysing expenditure for a client I discovered a desk bound employee spent €29 on directory enquiries. She was sitting in front of a PC with full internet access. www.domybooks.ie Interesting post.
