Did some research a while ago for a philosophy of education paper... one of the effects of the internet is that people have access to HUGE amounts of information, more in one day than people 300 years ago could access in their whole lives.. but the down side is that people no longer have to "remember". "How do I do that again? Oh.. cant remember.. google.."
It's already having huge effects on teenagers.. (negative ones..)

"An education isn't how much you have committed to memory, or even how much you know. It's being able to differentiate between what you know and what you don't." - Anatole France
