The recent Nobel Prize winner Doris Lessing, age 88, used her acceptance speech as an opportunity to inform the world that the internet makes us dumb. Yes, that's YOU reading this!
She says, among other things: "We are in a fragmenting culture, where our certainties of even a few decades ago are questioned and where it is common for young men and women, who have had years of education, to know nothing of the world, to have read nothing, knowing only some specialty or other, for instance, computers."
Computers! Get off that computer!
