What the internet killed

An excellent point. I know a lot of names and dates, but that's because they interest me, not because they are necessary. I think it's more important to teach a student to love a subject, whereas forced recitation sometimes teaches just the opposite.

As a good friend of mine once said, "When I was almost out of college I suddenly found myself wanting to go beat the crap out of my high school history teacher, just for making it so boring!"

People are losing what's called common sense because the look up everything and then know nothing.

Tis interesting indeed, and does make you wonder what would happen if one day someone accidentally pulled the internet's plug out of the wall.
