The important thing to realise is that what did people use for outboard brains before the Internet? Answer: they didn't. People didn't keep it all in their heads, they just didn’t learn it all. By having that outboard feature we can now learn more stuff and broader topics. I think it's a great thing and not something to be too scared of or go 'eek at.
