Internet Researchers
Research used to be done involving a trip to the local library and going through tons and tons of books and other reading materials. Today, you simply log-on enter the term/s you are searching for and you get the tons of information that you need to get the job done, fast. It still involves sifting through a lot of junk results but if you know what to look for, you can get reasonable results. Search engines have made life a whole lot easier along with the Openness of Information acts from governments around the world. Transparency is the key and free useful information is the result of this. Compare that to sifting through say a dozen books just to make a simple term paper.
