"I don't think it's going to far to suggest that the personal computer and the internet are right up there with antibiotics, making fire, and the wheel in terms of being monumental achievements."

Totally. But if downsides ought to be mentioned as well I'd like to cite the demise of expertness. There was a time when if the chatter turned to, say, moths (about which I know a lot) I could derive some innocent pleasure from being a guru. Now, every bugger's an expert, in proportion to their skill in making a quick web search. And I'm told there are people who actually make out they are quoting from their own knowledge, though that might be just a rumour. ;)
