I'll admit I do this, asking people questions that could be answered by Google, and sometimes even if I know the answer myself, sometimes to make conversation, sometimes because I want to hear the person's perspective on it.

If I'd never ask questions I could find the answers to myself in some other way, I think I'd never ask any person any question, which sounds kind of boring.

It's very boring. I've been carrying around a flip phone recently so I can ask people dumb questions again. No excuse to ask anyone for the time, though. I miss that.
