Before the internet you got in your car and drove to the library. That meant dressing up, parking the car, etc. If you had children, they had to be taken care of. Now, you have to find the place where the information you are looking for is found, and if it wasn't in that library have them contact a library to borrow the book from where it was found. Sometimes it took weeks to get the information, and sometimes you just couldn't find it.
There was no google to sort information, no method of sorting except hours and hours of going through books. If the research was important to the work you were doing it sometimes meant a trip overseas, even.
