It's late and my eyes hurt, so I'll have to read the wall of text tomorrow. I gather that the point he's making relates to the accessibility of information reducing the need and desire to remember and know things. It's a double-edged sword for me. I can search Google anywhere I have a computer, and text Google or chacha for answers to anything whenever I'm in range of a cell tower. On the other hand, I have the classical "thirst for knowledge." I'm a nerd, I enjoy learning things and knowing them. I'm not usually afraid to ask questions, and when I am, I go home and look it up because I hate to hear something and not know it. I've always been drawn to the concept of the Renaissance Man and the modern Jack of All Trades, and that's what I strive to be. The more I know, the more I can do.
