摘要

The web is a boon to education ... isn't it? In a recent speech, Nobel Prize-winning novelist Doris Lessing described the internet as having "seduced a whole generation with its inanities" - time that would be better spent reading books -and predicted the death of literature as a result. But what do our experts think? She's almost right. The internet isn't making us dumb, it's evidence that we're already dumb.
