A couple months ago I caught the end of an interesting Ted Radio Hour segment on my way home from running errands. An interview was wrapping up and I heard the man's name but it didn't stick by the time I was home. But ho, the power of the internet!
Step 1: Look up the radio show on the station's webpage.
Step 2: Find that episode of the Ted Radio Hour (Misconceptions, if you were curious)
Step 3: Read the episode description that gives the man's info (Barry Schwartz)
Step 4: I can download the Ted Radio Hour episode, read his Wikipedia page, order his book online, and generally fall down the internet rabbit hole.
Isn't it wonderful to realize the bounty of information at our fingertips? Yes, there are a lot of cat videos and celebrity gossip, but there are also answers to a ton of questions worth asking.
