I think the problem, as you've demonstrated with your flippant comment lies with this new 'internet culture' (tied in with anonymity on the internet) which has led to the development of certain attitudes and changes in social norms and 'values'.

For instance, if you were standing next to someone, and you asked them a question, it would not be the social norm to say "google it" even if you knew the answer.

Either that, or the internet just gives the idiots that would say "google it" if you spoke to them in person and they knew the answer, a platform for themselves, when in real life they'd have no friends/get ignored/get punched in the face.
