      I went to college before the internet was ever considered a valid source for any material. But using the internet made research extremely easy if I could determine the book source for reference.

      I went back to college right around that time the internet just became the default source for everything. It was staggering how little information was expected to be known. The implicit ubiquitous access to information was a staggering foundational shift.

        In Quebec/Canada at least. Haven’t teach in another country but I fear it’s similar.

          What is causing that? Anything I can do to offset that when my children will be old enough for it to be a problem?
