There are thousands of things we're forgetting because of it. Literally, core concepts in math, such as Geometry's relation to Algebra, or contextual based reading skills... we're losing it.
I don't understand how we've become so dull, but I think the answer lies in the fact that everything we do on the internet, revolves around social constructs, and a priori reasoning. This was common knowledge in the 90's and 00's, that we understood this fact that everything in language, related back to something we described in the real world. It was taught in our High Schools. Until it wasn't, and I think the education degraded under the Patriot Act and Common Core, and Universities were focused too much on squaring the circle, and making absurd conjectures about Postmodern nonsense, rather than sticking to the foundations of evidence and reason.
And you can still believe in Christ, through evidence and reason. There's no point in casting aside Christ for this, as there's a foundational bedrock of evidence in support of the Bible. Both witness, and archeological.
But, this comes to the fact, that the internet has given people infinite information, but infinite bad information, and has made the world dull, in that everything is related to language rather than the context or substance of that language. Rather, Math we used to understand has a Hermeneutics too, and it was the foundation of Western Society, and without it, we've lost ground, and it's entirely the Internet's fault.
Mark 13:51Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea, Lord. 52Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.
