Has anyone else seen this movie? From my experience I think it's a dead on exaggeration of what's really going on.
No one tries to figure anything out any more, they just want someone else to give them the answer rather than doing the work themselves.

Granted, we all get lazy some times and just need an answer. But for a lot of people it's a 24 hour thing.
I get co workers asking me questions all the time that they can find the answer to themselves with 30 seconds of work.

In my line of work i'm going to agree with that. I get asked questions by customers that they could answer themselves if they would have attempted to just do what they are asking about.
I have some great examples, but from previous experiences I'm not going to post them up. People are real woohoo's if they feel like you made them look dumb.
