memorizing capitals

Cheryn (9 years old): What's the capital of Kansas?

Hogg (40 years old): I don't know; it is a useless piece of knowledge, because I can look it up in a few seconds on the internet.

Dustin (30 years old): In other words "I don't care, because I can just ask my iPhone." but then your teacher says "Ah, but what will you do if your iPhone isn't working?" answer: "I am in New York City; if the iPhones aren't working, I don't need to know the capital of Kansas, I need to know how to shoot, skin, and dress a squirrel!"
