What's the internet doing to us?

I'm sure there once was a discussion about "are books dumbing us?" (suggesting that having you own "experiences" is better). And there may come a time when you can simply download "intelligence" straight into your brain.

Whether things are getting better is debatable. Maybe we should have stayed in the hunter-gatherer days?
