Kids are still being taught stuff they'll need to remember :roll: , it's just now they can look other stuff up conveniently...

TBH I'd rather have the ability to RESEARCH EFFECTIVELY than hold pointless knowledge.

Surely someone who can go away and properly research the Battle of Hastings is far more useful than someone who can remember the date and perhaps the antagonists?

Do you mean figuratively or... :o

Prince and Axel Rose were accused of having ribs removed to be able to do that :)

It would certainly leave less time for online activities. Unless they uploaded it, for want of a better phrase :lol: :oops:

Brilliantly, since he made these comments and others about video games, some people have pasted his face onto Mario images :lol:
