I remember when you had to invent research for dissertations, these young uns have it so easy - bloody interweb.

My dissertation was something like:

Assess the impact of satellite television as an advertising media and the effects on terrestrial broadcasting and other advertising media

Wrote about 22,000 words on that and can barely remember the title. It seemed like a lot until I realised Terry Dooley did that many to set the scene for a Billy Graham piece but this was 1995.
