Technical Communities Provide Crucial Information

摘要

Don't tell Google, but we really can't use the Internet to find information that will solve every problem. When we need information in the real world, it's about precision, not volume. Let's say you have a specific manufacturing engineering-related question that none of your usual colleagues can answer. Starting a Google search under "engineering" gives you roughly 550 billion links. Looking under "manufacturing engineering" yields you about 75 billion, significantly less, but still too much information to sort through.
