At times I tend to take for granted all the hours of research, collecting, and cataloging (otherwise known as Blood, Sweat and Tears) that went into anything that I happen to be looking up in a library or on the internet. In this generation, the information is "Just There." You want to know something, just type it into your search engine and you have a list of 10,000 or more sites in which to turn to find the information you are looking for. It seems so easy and at times appears magical. Lest we not forget that many, many people and hundreds of years of research went into finding the information that now is available at the click of a mouse. These dedicated people, diliently searching for clues as to our cultural identities, or our historical metamorphoses, made it possible for me to type in a few words to find more than enough information on a subject to more than answer any questions I may have. Those geographers like Carl Ortwin Sauer and Thomas Carter along with many others did the foot work while others did the cataloging in Libraries, and still others, input information onto websites. All I have to do is look, and all the information is there for me to find. Lest we never forget that this was someone's passion, someone's life work, someone who was dedicated to gathering information for us to use and absorb and hopefully appreciate.
