And why not?

The truth is that instead of leafing through unending books of information, it is so much easier to simply search for the piece of information that you need to know and get on with your work, check drug interactions or dosages or run differential diagnoses in well under three minutes. Doctors, interns and certified nurse assistants can greatly benefit from the wonderful tools that technology has provided.
