Age of less brain power

It is funny you brought that up Tim.  I think about trying to know everything quite often.  And I always ask myself; are we as a generation of Internet, and Google more informed and more widely educated than the generation of the newspaper and the black and white cathode ray tube.  Call it the pessimist in me but I feel that we are not, I feel our generation lives in a greater bubble than the afore mentioned.  We have all this information but it rarely, as I see gets used.  Our attention span is shortening and our apathy is growing.  I feel like we remember less, quite simply because it takes .006 sec to look up something in Google so why remember vs 20 years ago when it took you 30 minutes to look it up in the Britannica that the book sellers brought around every couple of years.  I think we live in the most exciting time there has ever been, stuffed with security, knowledge and freedoms that the human race had never even dreamed of, and I hope that we all take full advantage of it all and fight the apathy and blind sense of entitlement that is sweeping us all under water.
