Unfortunately, some people forget to process the information obtained to make it meaningful to them.
This is absolutely the truth. Just because we have lots of technologies and resources more than our ancestors, it doesn't measure up how one is smart or intelligent but the way the information gained or learned is being applied. But today, there are lots of distraction on the internet that it takes a whole lot of discipline to fully be committed to what we're learning and also applying it.
Indeed with all the distractions on the internet much discipline is required. One coould spend a whole day scrolling and not much is learnt.
