The hours in the library digging through books, journals, and peer-reviewed articles as opposed to being able to do keyword searches on a laptop to find resources.......definitely not easier back then.

@SW-User Oh God I remember in elementary school when we had to use actual dictionaries and had to learn how to use encyclopedias, but tell me how long were your papers?

@SW-User at least it was cheaper

It really depended on the assignment. I wrote so many papers over the years, I’m not sure what the average was. @lizzy96

@SW-User I guess its better know that we have a computer, but along with wifi comes distraction and videos teaching students how to cheat.
