And the sentence structure of this subtitle proves it! But back to the issue at hand.....a little "yes" and a little "no". The modernization of informational exchange that's been going on has varied effects on varied individuals (what a surprise). It can bring some people out of crippling shyness and give them tools they'd otherwise never have; it can also deepen the inherently bad traits of the lazy and misinformed. The "computer age" really depends on what a given person WANTS to do with it; you can spend trillions of dollars and come up with endless schematics and have it all be wasted on someone with NO DESIRE to take advantage of it. However, a person who WANTS to learn will crawl over broken glass to do so (and at a fraction of the cost). I must admit that the speed and availability of information is having a detrimental effect upon retention, but again, you have to consider how said retention is (and was) being put to use (learning different things might make you a whiz to trivia buffs, but if the same information can be brought up and applied in more-profitable venues, where's the harm?). And let's not forget about the repetitive power that digital knowledge can impart. Handwriting skills have fallen off the table, but typing prowess has steadily improved. Frankly, all I'm seeing are evolutionary trade-offs, with the adaptive outpacing the hesitant; different times, same story.
