In my view, Increased access to information and viewpoints is beneficial to anyone seeking knowledge. Prior to finishing high school, the only information (that I had access to) regarding religion and morality stemmed from the church.<div>

<br></div><div> Only when I started tinkering on the internet did I find out about the crusades, the inquisitions etc. Now this is not tech related but it shows that knowledge that is controlled by a select few conditions you to think in a particular manner. The difference between 1982 and 2012 is in access to info.<div>

<br></div><div> A middle class kid had no way of accessing alternate explanations or different ways of proving say Fourier transform or see how Japanese kids live save for selected programmes on TV. Now all that is needed is an inexpensive modem. <br>

@Mark, The question is what is so different between say 1982 &amp; 2012? Has the search engine and internet helped anyone change anything? Maybe it allowed you use existing projects to pass exams, but then what? <div><br>

should I cram a thousand mundane facts when I can always google them?<br>
I bet you think kids in school should still use log tables for doing<br>
heavy multiplication. how does this benefit anyone? to date I have<br>
notseen anyone in the real world pull out log tables for a quick sum.<br>
have you?<br>
