Maybe they're just running out of time to research by themselves.
Some are really just a Google away, like I see questions that says, "What is the capital of USA?" or "How many states are there in the USA?". Those are really easy and obvious.
We just have to understand them and look at it positively. We're here to help and be reliable as possible.

"Looking things up" is fast becoming a lost skill. Even with Google and the entire internet at our fingertips, some of us cannot manage to do a simple search.
Then again, I really do think it is just laziness. Although it takes more time to compose, review, and post a question than it would to simply look it up in the first place!

Many people here are very new users of computers and are not familiar with the use of a search engine. Others, like myself, prfeer to get info from a rea person. As to google, I avoid it since I want yahoo to get back to being the internet giant it once was. I use yahoo search engines.

You may not believe this but there are people who don't know the difference between a search and a URL. They end of here because they use Yahoo as a home page and there is a link there.
