Mrs. Olsen has made my point with lots of stuff that’s floating through the ‘digi-verse.’ She is probably a lot more competent on the pc than people give her credit for because they see her as ‘an old person’ and ‘what do they know.’ She also is very likely very irritated at all the interference she gets while doing what should be simple, clean searches and wading through the garbage to reach the heart of a subject.
The universe is fairly consistent in its offerings so far. The digi-verse, not so much
When it comes to “a lack of interest, enthusiasm, or concern,” we could use a new word in English that points out a distinction as to whether the concern is merited or not. Shrugging at climate change is “apathetic.” Not being interested in learning about a departed structure you never cared about in the first place? Not the same thing.
Google Earth would be a better bet but they do update every few years. When I Google my sister’s address it shows her house with my pick up parked in front but not any more.

She just needs to be apathetic about her apathy problem.

Cranial resource budgeting becomes easier as I have less and less hair.

The Street View idea is an easy solve. If the question is going to keep bothering her, it’s well worth taking the effort to do.

I’m wondering why this would bother anybody. If I’ve never used a store, I probably don’t remember what store it was. Why would you?

“Cranial resource budgeting” is what I would call conserving mental energy.

This is a 21st century problem. If you can google something, you’re less likely to remember it.
