Experts?

We discussed in 624 last year how elders are wise and have a great deal of knowledge which can be extremely useful but it seems we often don't ask as much of these individuals any more. It seems to me that we run to "google" for the quick easy answer. Although sometimes right and sometimes wrong, I am sure we'd all admit that the info is fairly quick and easy to find. The book mentions that we may seek out experts to impart knowledge but again, I believe this is changing? With the internet, it makes it much easier to find information without asking an elder who in the past, we would initially run to for information. The book also discusses that we can figure things out on our own without asking an elder. Is it wrong to seek out information elsewhere and not rely on our elders who may be considered an expert??
