I don't see the difference...

Modern information age tech is just the same shit we always did, it's just better and faster.

Each of us comes into the world with NOTHING, and we use whatever resources we have to gain information as we go.

We used to have "the elders" and the oral tradition, which was not very good, and then we gained the ability to write, but then we had to comb through volumes physically to get at the information.

Then we had the telephone, and we could call an expert to get the information.

Now we have Google, and it takes all the same processes and makes them all easier.

I don't think it makes us dumber, because we were already dumb...it just takes our ways to access information to a whole new level.

Thank God for it too, we have the information available to us now that not too long in the past would have been inconceivable for people, it's really amazing when you stop to think about it.
