Books. We had books. We still have them and they are great.
Yeah but we didn't necessarily have that book. And also, you had to know which book. So first you had to find a book that could tell you what kind of book to look in. And if you just didn't know how or where to ask the question, well. That was that.
And actually a lot of the books were just wrong but because those were the only books we had, welp. You just learned it wrong.
A lot of our knowledge today will also be wrong in 30 or 40 years, that's how knowledge accumulation works over time in a healthy civilization (ok now that I've typed it, I can already hear and accept the criticism that we might not be living in a healthy civilization right now, but I think the point remains). Learning how to find information is an important part of the educational process, imho.
Edit: also, as pointed out before I even commented, we had libraries.
Yeah but like, quite literally my library had encyclopedias that were just wrong. Like I knew then they were wrong. Its wasn't a good thing.
...then you knew what to ask for follow-up literature to review, yeah? That's part of learning, and exactly what I'm talking about. Learning how to critically evaluate information and seek further enriching content to gain a better understanding of the thing you are researching is a crucial skill.
Edit: ok, downvote me, but are you doing that because you don't like that you grew to learn critical thinking, or are you doing it because you didn't learn critical thinking? You knew the encyclopedia was wrong. How? Because of the dearth of knowledge available to you? Lol
