“Those who most commonly win their knowledge from the Internet reportedly do so very much less thoroughly and deeply than do those who bury themselves in books. They know they can always return to the Web and reload the page to find out anything further they might wish to know. There is no need to learn anything in depth. Bullet points will do just fine. To be able to discuss, argue, discern, think about, and value the importance of the knowledge so gathered represents, or so behavioral specialists tell us, a vanishing set of skills.”
