This morning I thought I will upgrade my Ubuntu from 16.04 to the latest LTS. So I used a famous search engine to figure out the steps. It was a pleasant surprise how easy it all was. Not the upgrade process(which also was an easy one) but finding the solution to my problem. I turned into a System Administrator within 2 minutes. Years ago, it would have taken me 4 hours to find the book to guide me through the upgrade process. On top of that if something fails, you would be very lucky to find any answers, and extremely lucky to find them in the very same book.
Information today is a click away. Not sure if I am happy about that.
