Just a look-back and look-ahead of some of the ways that people might have had and will have their own personal inquisitiveness satisfied through the decades….
Ask your mother; ask your father
Look it up in the dictionary; look it up in the encyclopedia
Go to the library
Ask your teachers
Ask your colleagues at work
Go online and search the web
Ask your friends on social media
Use Wikipedia
Immerse yourself in your VR-enabled hologram
Swallow one of the ‘Know’ pills (either a general knowledge or specific knowledge event pill)
Think about it to activate that block of knowledge already embedded in your mind since birth
Of course, after writing this post, I had to go to YouTube and watch Monty Python’s “No-one Expects a Spanish Inquisition”
