Close please

To those who contributed to the discussion positively or negatively, thank you. I chose to remove the original post because...well...my point was proven. In just the few responses garnered over the 3 or so hours this post existed, the point was painstakingly proven. This isn't the 1st forum I posted it, as I was conducting a bit of a social experiment. If you're interested in seeing the post as a whole, message me and I'll send you a link to one of the ongoing discussions on other forums. This thread can be closed.

    Being 17 I will have to agree with this and I can genuinely take a notice of the difference. As I only started really using computers for anything around 8th grade. I used them when I was younger but was never around one to always search stuff so naturally I read, and learned a lot about well everything. I am not incredibly gifted in the knowledge of one thing because when I had access to these books I was younger and thus the books were simpler. So I read and broadened my horizons. I can tell you rather useless facts and names on... Reptiles and amphibians Dinosaurs Astronomy Geology Archeology Anatomy Meteorology (used to place bets on storms) Physical sciences Calvin and Hobbes (loved these two) Military Aircraft. Lasers and light behavior. And some pseudo-sciences A Myriad of other useless facts as well. But the simple transition of people quickly googling something and repeating a fact then forgetting it is the most common way to obtain information nowadays and it affects everyone with a phone or tablet or laptop and whatever.
