This Is What I Think...

I definitely think that the internet is making us stupider as a whole. It is absolutely obvious that the internet is a wealth of information that has never been seen before, and it is growing each day. No one can deny that we have more information available at the click of a mouse than we could ever use. The reason that I think that it is making us stupider is because it is definitely making us lazier.

When we can just go look something up on wikipedia, there is no reason to really learn the material, especially if the information needed is only for the short term. It's so easy to get the information that we don't actually have to learn anything. The internet may be getting "smarter" but we humans are not. Learning is pain, and without pain, there can be no learning. Relying upon the internet for quick and easy information makes us less reliant upon our own brain.
