so true. I watch people sitting neck crained swipe swipe, and its

they can't communicate well, they don't remember things well, nor do theyh

Explain the concept of libraries to most millenials and you get a dumbfounded stare. As if Wikipedia now has more credibility than
anything else on the planet these days.
The tools they use like cell phones, TV's, computers, operating systems, software, ..etc, all are dependant on the internet, and come withcontracts
attached to them you have to agree to EULA, that are pre loaded you don'te
see them or have a choice to agree, disagree before you purchase theeveryt
you must agree to. You have bought into their devices and data miningbefor
you even had a chance to disagree to it. LIke when you purchase a phoneoff
amazon, when you turn that phone on, you must agree to the EULA. When you purchase a phone in the store often the tech there hits agree for you. WEa
their product! Thats the sad part.
I believe the EULA was challenged in a British court once, argued by a consumer that it was impossible to use a device without accepting the
EULA and that "nobody reads those things anyway".

Nobody forces the general public to look at Facebook.
They could as well download an EBook from Descartes, or some scientific
and read that.
It is NOT the Internets fault that people do not do that very often.
They COULD do it, if they wanted to.
But sadly Richard... people by and large don't want to.
Since the Internet became popular, we have yet to see some really truly great science or scientists evolve; using the tools and information available on the Internet to advance the next "great thing".
Some exceptions of course. Take that project which uses the idle processing power of a volunteer's desktop computer to participate in a mass distributed-computing effort to decode images from space. Bitcoin currency is possibly another. Both of those have some real potential.
