I agree with that difference but I'm not sure it's fundamental. To me more fundamental is access to information that anybody has above certain age. Yes you still need to know how to interpret it, that's one of the most valuable skills nowadays, but in the past you had just no way of fact checking and doing more research on what has been given to you apart from spending hours in library which would not be very productive unless you were interested in some relatively popular chunk of history. You get served stuff targeted at you but it's just information, and you have a way to put it in a bigger context. It was not possible before. The fact that you learn about unknown unknowns through a magic giving content box is also amazing. It is not perfect and have its issues, and I would love for everybody to just garden their homepages which I could visit like it's .. oh shit well 30 years ago, but I'm not sure I want to spend time on gardening mine when I can learn so much instead.
