from the parent: My dilemma Now this can be most convenient in some circumstances because I can quickly find huge repositories of quality information. [...] But due to me not really committing information directly to my memory I have less premises to call on when thinking. I feel that my ability to be creative is impaired because all I am turning my memory into is the “Contents Page” of what I know. So instead of a novel, I am a dictionary. This is a very interesting thought. But maybe the answer will be, that some day you will have to be online, in order to think. Though, right now, this all sounds very futuristic to me. The access of information over the internet is way slower than over my memory. Not because of bandwith but by how poorly, the searched for information is presented. PS: So what are all those Star Trek Borgs standing in their boxes? Surfing the internet of course!
