I would think that the majority of people (over 50%) use online search engines versus the Yellow Pages. However, we need to also realize that not everyone has a computer (or access to one) and of those who do have a computer, not all of them go online with it. There are still people who believe the internet is a scary place for sinners and criminals. Although laughable to us, it's a sad reality. :-)
The last time I used the yellow pages was at a hotel that didn't have internet.... it was annoying to do something manually.
Do you still use yellow pages?

Girls shop. They don't necessarily buy. Some just like the act of shopping. If they don't buy anything, they can feel like they accomplished something.
Men buy. In order to do this, they go shopping. And then they buy. If a man does not buy anything, they do not feel as if something has been accomplished.
These two things are opposed. But women can deal with a man's way, but men cannot deal with a woman's way.
But! There are some boys who love going shopping with girls... Not just too many. The ones don't like it, don't like it because guys are more technical, and on the spot, if they need something, they go buy it. Unlike girls, they won't walk around for hours and check every single store for fun.
What's your opinion?
